Hearing; psychiatric examination; delay or continuance of trial; confinement in psychiatric institution; competency restoration services; transmittal of information to NICS
Status: in_force

Sec. 1. (a) If at any time before the final submission of any criminal case to the court or the jury trying the case, the court has reasonable grounds for believing that the defendant lacks the ability to understand the proceedings and assist in the preparation of a defense, the court shall immediately fix a time for a hearing to determine whether the defendant has that ability.

(b) This subsection applies to a defendant charged with murder or a Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, or Level 5 felony. When a court sets a hearing under subsection (a), the court shall appoint two (2) or three (3) individuals to determine the defendant's competency. Each of the appointed individuals must be a psychiatrist, or a psychologist endorsed by the Indiana state board of examiners in psychology as a health service provider in psychology. An individual appointed under this subsection must be competent and disinterested.

(c) This subsection applies to a defendant charged with a misdemeanor or a Level 6 felony. When a court sets a hearing under subsection (a), the court shall appoint one (1) individual who:

(1) is a:

(A) psychiatrist; or

(B) psychologist endorsed by the Indiana state board of examiners in psychology as a health service provider in psychology;

(2) is competent and disinterested; and

(3) has expertise in determining competency.

(d) In addition to the psychiatrist or psychologist appointed under subsection (c), the court may appoint not more than two (2) additional individuals to assist the court in determining competency. Upon request of either party, the court shall appoint at least one (1), but not more than two (2), additional individuals to assist the court in determining competency. An individual appointed under this subsection may be an individual:

(1) described in subsection (c); or

(2) who is competent and disinterested, has expertise in determining competency, and is:

(A) licensed:

(i) under IC 25-23 as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) with a certification as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner;

(ii) under IC 25-27.5 as a physician assistant who specializes in psychiatry or mental health; or

(iii) under IC 25-22.5 as a physician who specializes in psychiatry or mental health; and

(B) certified by the division of mental health and addiction as a competency evaluator.

(e) An individual appointed under this section may not be an employee or a contractor of a state institution (as defined in IC 12-7-2.1-318). The individuals who are appointed shall examine the defendant and testify at the hearing as to whether the defendant can understand the proceedings and assist in the preparation of the defendant's defense.

(f) At the hearing, other evidence relevant to whether the defendant has the ability to understand the proceedings and assist in the preparation of the defendant's defense may be introduced. If the court finds that the defendant has the ability to understand the proceedings and assist in the preparation of the defendant's defense, the trial shall proceed. If the court finds that the defendant lacks this ability, it shall delay or continue the trial and order the defendant committed to the division of mental health and addiction. The division of mental health and addiction shall provide competency restoration services or enter into a contract for the provision of competency restoration services by a third party in the:

(1) location where the defendant currently resides; or

(2) least restrictive setting appropriate to the needs of the defendant and the safety of the defendant and others.

However, if the defendant is serving an unrelated executed sentence in the department of correction at the time the defendant is committed to the division of mental health and addiction under this section, the division of mental health and addiction shall provide competency restoration services or enter into a contract for the provision of competency restoration services by a third party at a department of correction facility agreed upon by the division of mental health and addiction or the third party contractor and the department of correction. A contract entered into with a third party under this subsection may confer to the third party all authority the division would have in providing competency restoration services to the defendant at a state institution (as defined in IC 12-7-2.1-318).

(g) If the court makes a finding under subsection (f), the court shall transmit any information required by the office of judicial administration to the office of judicial administration for transmission to the NICS (as defined in IC 35-47-2.5-2.5) in accordance with IC 33-24-6-3.

(m) The probation department or pretrial services agency may contract with a bank or credit card vendor for acceptance of a bank or credit card. However, if there is a vendor transaction charge or discount fee, whether billed to the probation department or pretrial services agency, or charged directly to the account of the probation department or pretrial services agency, the probation department or pretrial services agency may collect a credit card service fee from the person using the bank or credit card. The fee collected under this subsection is a permitted additional charge to the fee or fees the defendant may be required to pay under subsection (e).

(n) The probation department or pretrial services agency shall forward a credit card service fee collected under subsection (m) to the county treasurer in accordance with subsection (f).

(b) For a charge other than murder, on motion of the state at or before an initial hearing, the court shall hold a hearing to determine whether an arrestee shall be denied bail. The state may request detention of the arrestee at a later date if it files a verified petition alleging the existence of new information that was unknown or unavailable at the time of the initial hearing.

(c) The court shall hold the bail hearing described in subsection (b) not later than forty-eight (48) hours from the time of filing, unless doing so is impracticable. However, the court may grant a continuance of:

Computation of time under this subsection does not include Saturday, Sunday, or any day on which a legal holiday is observed for state employees as provided under IC 1-1-9.

(d) At the bail hearing, the arrestee has the right to be represented by counsel and, if the arrestee is indigent, to have counsel appointed.

(e) In making a determination of whether to deny bail, a court shall consider the following factors, in addition to any other fact or circumstance relevant to reasonably assuring appearance and the safety of any other person or the community:

(1) The nature and circumstances of the offense charged, including whether the offense is an offense of violence or involves alcohol or drug abuse.

(2) The weight of the evidence against the arrestee.

(3) The history and characteristics of the arrestee, including:

(A) the character, physical and mental condition, family ties, employment, financial resources, length of residence in the community, community ties, past conduct, history relating to drug or alcohol abuse, and criminal history of the arrestee; and

(B) whether, at the time of the current alleged offense or at the time of the arrest of the arrestee, the arrestee was on probation, parole, community corrections, or release pending trial, sentencing, appeal, or completion of sentence for the commission of an offense under the laws of this state, another state, or the United States.

(4) The nature and seriousness of the danger to any person or the community that would be posed by the arrestee's release.

(5) The availability, suitability, and effectiveness of less restrictive alternatives to detention and specific conditions of release that could reasonably mitigate the identified risk.

(6) Any other fact or circumstance that is relevant to reasonably assuring the appearance of the arrestee and the safety of any other person or the community.

(f) If the court denies bail under this section, the court shall issue written findings and conclusions setting forth reasons for the denial.

(g) No evidence or finding from a hearing under this section is admissible as substantive evidence at a trial concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted. The evidence or findings may be admissible as impeachment or in a prosecution for perjury.

(h) If the court determines that an arrestee should not be denied bail, the court shall set terms of pretrial release for the arrestee in accordance with this chapter.

(i) An order granting or denying bail is a final appealable order.

(j) A court may reconsider an order granting or denying bail under this section if, at any time before trial, the court is made aware of information that was unknown or unobtainable at the time of a previous hearing and that has a material bearing on the issue of whether there are conditions of release that will reasonably assure the safety of any other person or the community. The court may order a new hearing under this section upon motion of the state, the arrestee, or on its own motion.

Sec. 9.5. (a) This section applies to a collateral action adjudicated or conducted in a county other than the county in which a court granted an expungement.

(b) Upon receipt of a request to expunge records related to a collateral action and a properly certified expungement order, a circuit or superior court in the county in which the collateral action occurred shall:

(1) notify the prosecuting attorney of the county in which the court is located of the request to expunge records related to a collateral action and set the matter for hearing; or

(2) if it conclusively appears from the court's records that the person is entitled to expungement as described in subsection (c), order the records expunged without a hearing.

(c) The circuit or superior court in the county in which the collateral action was adjudicated or conducted shall order records of the collateral action expunged (for an expungement granted under sections 1 through 3 of this chapter) or marked as expunged (for an expungement granted under sections 4 through 5 of this chapter), unless the court finds that the collateral action does not relate to the expunged arrest or conviction.

(d) A request to expunge records of a collateral action may be made at any time after the original expungement order is issued.

(e) A request to expunge records shall be filed under the cause number of the collateral action, if applicable. A person who requests expungement of records of a collateral action under this section is not required to pay a filing fee, even if the request is filed under a new cause of action.
