Sec. 8.5. (a) Subject to IC 22-12-2.1, the department shall adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 for outdoor event equipment at outdoor performances to protect the safety of persons at the outdoor performances. The department may:

(1) exempt small assemblies of outdoor event equipment, as defined by the department, from some or all fees or other requirements that otherwise would apply to outdoor event equipment under a rule adopted under this section or another building law; or

(2) establish alternative procedures, fees, or other requirements, or any combination, for small assemblies of outdoor event equipment, as defined by the department.

(b) Subject to this section, a city, town, or county that regulated outdoor event equipment before March 15, 2012, under an ordinance adopted before March 15, 2012, may, if the ordinance is in effect on March 15, 2012, continue to regulate outdoor event equipment under the ordinance after March 14, 2012, in the same manner that the city, town, or county applied the ordinance before March 15, 2012. However, a statewide code of fire safety laws or building laws governing outdoor event equipment that is adopted by the department under this section after March 14, 2012, takes precedence over any part of a city, town, or county ordinance that is in conflict with the department's adopted code. The ordinances to which this section applies include Chapter 536 of the Revised Code of the Consolidated City and County Indianapolis/Marion, Indiana Codified through Ordinance No. 36, 2011, passed August 15, 2011. (Supp. No. 27). A city, town, or county to which this subsection applies need not be certified or approved under IC 22-15-3-1 or another law to continue to regulate outdoor event equipment after March 14, 2012.

(c) This subsection applies to cities, towns, and counties described in subsection (b) and any other city, town, or county that, after March 14, 2012, adopts an ordinance governing outdoor event equipment that is approved by the department or the state building commissioner. The city, town, or county shall require compliance with:

(1) the rules adopted under this section;

(2) orders issued under IC 22-13-2-11 that grant a variance to the rules adopted under this section;

(3) orders issued under IC 22-12-7 that apply the rules adopted under this section; and

(4) a written interpretation of the rules adopted under this section binding on the unit under IC 22-13-5-3 or IC 22-13-5-4;

on both private and public property located within the boundaries of the city, town, or county, including, in the case of a consolidated city, the state fairgrounds. This subsection does not limit the authority of a unit (as defined in IC 36-1-2-23) under IC 36-7-2-9 to enforce building laws and orders and written interpretations related to building laws.

Creation; use of funds
Status: reserved

Sec. 1. (a) There is created in the state treasury a special fund to be known as the special employment and training services fund. All interest on delinquent contributions and penalties collected under this article, together with any voluntary contributions tendered as a contribution to this fund, shall be paid into this fund. The money shall not be expended or available for expenditure in any manner which would permit their substitution for (or a corresponding reduction in) federal funds which would in the absence of the money be available to finance expenditures for the administration of this article, but nothing in this section shall prevent the money from being used as a revolving fund to cover expenditures necessary and proper under the law for which federal funds have been duly requested but not yet received, subject to the charging of expenditures against the funds when received. The money in this fund shall be used by the department for the payment of refunds of interest on delinquent contributions and penalties so collected, for the payment of costs of administration which are found not to have been properly and validly chargeable against federal grants or other funds received for or in the employment and training services administration fund, on and after July 1, 1945. The money shall be available either to satisfy the obligations incurred by the department directly, or by transfer by the department of the required amount from the special employment and training services fund to the employment and training services administration fund. The department shall order the transfer of the funds or the payment of any obligation or expenditure and the funds shall be paid by the treasurer of state on requisition drawn by the department and certified by the commissioner. The money in this fund is specifically made available to replace within a reasonable time any money received by this state pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 502, as amended, which, because of any action or contingency, has been lost or has been expended for purposes other than or in amounts in excess of those approved by the United States Department of Labor. The money in this fund shall be continuously available to the department for expenditures in accordance with the provisions of this section and for the prevention, detection, and recovery of delinquent contributions, penalties, and improper benefit payments, and shall not lapse at any time or be transferred to any other fund, except as provided in this article. Except as provided in subsection (e), after making the grants required under subsection (c), the department may expend an amount not to exceed eleven million five hundred thousand dollars ($11,500,000) in a state fiscal year for the purpose of prevention, detection, and recovery of delinquent contributions, penalties, and improper benefit payments, unless an additional amount is approved by the budget committee. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit, alter, or amend the liability of the state assumed and created by IC 22-4-28, or to change the procedure prescribed in IC 22-4-28 for the satisfaction of the liability, except to the extent that the liability may be satisfied by and out of the funds of the special employment and training services fund created by this section. Each state fiscal year, the commissioner shall make the training grants required under subsection (c) before amounts are expended from the fund in accordance with this section for any other purpose.

(b) The following apply to the special employment and training services fund:

(1) If on December 31 the balance in the special employment and training services fund exceeds eleven million five hundred thousand dollars ($11,500,000) and the unemployment insurance benefit fund balance is greater than or equal to one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000), the department shall order, not later than thirty (30) days after December 31, payment of the amount that exceeds eleven million five hundred thousand dollars ($11,500,000) into the unemployment insurance modernization fund established by IC 22-4-25.5.

(2) If on December 31 the balance in the special employment and training services fund exceeds eleven million five hundred thousand dollars ($11,500,000) and the unemployment insurance benefit fund balance is less than one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000), the department shall order, not later than thirty (30) days after December 31, payment of the amount that exceeds eleven million five hundred thousand dollars ($11,500,000) into the unemployment insurance benefit fund.

(c) Subject to the availability of funds, on July 1 each year the commissioner shall release the following amounts before expenditures are made in accordance with this section for any other purpose:

(1) Four million dollars ($4,000,000) to the state educational institution established under IC 21-25-2-1 for training provided to participants in apprenticeship programs approved by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.

(2) Four million dollars ($4,000,000) to the state educational institution instituted and incorporated under IC 21-22-2-1 for training provided to participants in joint labor and management apprenticeship programs approved by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.

(3) Two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) for journeyman upgrade training to each of the state educational institutions described in subdivisions (1) and (2).

(4) Four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) annually for training and counseling assistance:

(A) provided by Hometown Plans under 41 CFR 60-4.5; and

(B) approved by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training;

to individuals who have been unemployed for at least four (4) weeks or whose annual income is less than twenty thousand dollars ($20,000).

(5) Three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) annually for training and counseling assistance provided by the state institution established under IC 21-25-2-1 to individuals who have been unemployed for at least four (4) weeks or whose annual income is less than twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) for the purpose of enabling those individuals to apply for admission to apprenticeship programs offered by providers approved by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.

(d) Each state educational institution described in subsection (c) is entitled to keep ten percent (10%) of the funds released under subsection (c) for the payment of costs of administering the funds. On each June 30 following the release of the funds, any funds released under subsection (c) not used by the state educational institutions under subsection (c) shall be returned to the special employment and training services fund.

Whereas, under prevailing economic conditions, developed with the aid of governmental authority for owners of property to organize in the corporate and other forms of ownership associations, the individual unorganized worker is commonly helpless to exercise actual liberty of contract and to protect his freedom of labor and thereby to obtain acceptable terms and conditions of employment, wherefore, though he should be free to decline to associate with his fellows, it is necessary that he have full freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of his own choosing, to negotiate the terms and conditions of his employment, and that he shall be free from interference, restraint, or coercion of employers of labor or their agents in the designation of such representatives or in self-organization or in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection; therefore, the following definition of and limitations upon the jurisdiction and authority of the courts of the state of Indiana are hereby enacted.

Temporary disability benefits; installment payments; termination; overpayment
Status: in_force

Sec. 7. (a) Compensation shall be allowed on account of injuries producing only temporary total disability to work or temporary partial disability to work beginning with the eighth day of such disability except for medical benefits provided in section 4 of the chapter. Compensation shall be allowed for the first seven (7) calendar days only if the disability continues for longer than twenty-one (21) days.

(b) The first weekly installment of compensation for temporary disability is due fourteen (14) days after the disability begins. Not later than fourteen (14) days from the date that the first installment of compensation is due, the employer or the employer's insurance carrier shall file a report of payment of compensation with the worker's compensation board electronically and tender to the employee or to the employee's dependents, with all compensation due, a properly prepared compensation agreement in a form prescribed by the board. The presentation to the employee or to the employee's dependents of the check, draft, or electronic payment from the employer or the employer's insurance carrier for the proper amount, drawn upon a bank in which money is on deposit to pay the same on demand, shall be sufficient tender of the compensation.

(c) Whenever an employer or the employer's insurance carrier denies or is not able to determine liability to pay compensation or benefits, the employer or the employer's insurance carrier shall notify the worker's compensation board and the employee in writing on a form prescribed by the worker's compensation board not later than thirty (30) days after the employer's knowledge of the claimed injury. If a determination of liability cannot be made within thirty (30) days, the worker's compensation board may approve an additional thirty (30) days upon a written request of the employer or the employer's insurance carrier that sets forth the reasons that the determination could not be made within thirty (30) days and states the facts or circumstances that are necessary to determine liability within the additional thirty (30) days. More than thirty (30) days of additional time may be approved by the worker's compensation board upon the filing of a petition by the employer or the employer's insurance carrier that sets forth:

(1) the extraordinary circumstances that have precluded a determination of liability within the initial sixty (60) days;

(2) the status of the investigation on the date the petition is filed;

(3) the facts or circumstances that are necessary to make a determination; and

(4) a timetable for the completion of the remaining investigation.

An employer who fails to comply with this section is subject to a civil penalty under IC 22-3-4-15.

(d) Once begun, temporary total disability benefits may not be terminated by the employer unless:

(1) the employee has returned to any employment;

(2) the employee has died;

(3) the employee has refused to undergo a medical examination under section 6 of this chapter or has refused to accept suitable employment under section 11 of this chapter;

(4) the employee has received five hundred (500) weeks of temporary total disability benefits or has been paid the maximum compensation allowed under section 22 of this chapter; or

(5) the employee is unable or unavailable to work for reasons unrelated to the compensable injury.

In each instance, the employer must provide written notice to the injured worker on a form approved by the board. In all other cases the employer must notify the employee in writing of the employer's intent to terminate the payment of temporary total disability benefits and of the availability of employment, if any, on a form approved by the board. In all instances the employer must file an electronic notice of the termination with the board.

(e) If the employee disagrees with the termination or proposed termination, the employee must give written notice of disagreement to the board and the employer within seven (7) days after receipt of the notice of intent to terminate benefits. If the board and employer do not receive a notice of disagreement under this section, the employee's temporary total disability benefits shall be terminated. Upon receipt of the notice of disagreement, the board shall immediately contact the parties, which may be by telephone or other means, and attempt to resolve the disagreement. If the board is unable to resolve the disagreement within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice of disagreement, the board shall immediately arrange for an evaluation of the employee by an independent medical examiner. The independent medical examiner shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties are unable to agree, appointed by the board under IC 22-3-4-11.

Tip pooling arrangements
Status: in_force

Sec. 14.1. (a) The following definitions apply throughout this section:

(1) "Manager or supervisor" means any employee:

(A) whose primary duty is managing the enterprise or a customarily recognized department or subdivision of the enterprise;

(B) who customarily and regularly directs the work of two (2) or more other full-time employees or their equivalent; and

(C) who has the authority to hire or fire other employees, or whose suggestions and recommendations as to the hiring or firing are given particular weight.

The term includes a business owner who owns at least a bona fide twenty percent (20%) equity interest in the enterprise in which the owner is employed and who is actively engaged in its management.

(2) "Nontipped employee" means a person employed in an occupation in which the person does not customarily and regularly receive tips, such as a dishwasher, cook, or janitor. The term does not include a manager or supervisor, even if the manager or supervisor would otherwise be considered a tipped or nontipped employee.

(3) "Tip" means a sum presented to an employee by a customer as a gift or gratuity in recognition of some service performed, directly or indirectly, for the customer. The term does not include a mandatory service charge.

(4) "Tipped employee" means a person employed in an occupation in which the person customarily and regularly receives tips, such as a waiter, bellhop, counter server (who serves customers), busser, barback, food runner, hostess, bartender, or a service bartender. The term does not include a manager or supervisor, even if the manager or supervisor would otherwise be considered a tipped or nontipped employee.

(5) "Tip pooling arrangement" means a system in which tips received by an employee are shared with other eligible employees.

(b) An employer may require a tip pooling arrangement under the following circumstances:

(1) An employer may require a tipped employee to participate in a tip pooling arrangement if the tips are shared only with other tipped employees, and with no nontipped employees. An employer that implements a tip pooling arrangement must notify tipped employees of any required tip pool contribution amount, may only take a tip credit for tips each employee ultimately receives, and may not retain any of the employees' tips for any other purpose.

(2) If the employer pays its employees at least the minimum wage, the employer may require a tipped employee to participate in a tip pooling arrangement where the tips are shared with other tipped and nontipped employees. An employer that implements a tip pooling arrangement must notify employees of any required tip pool contribution amount and may not retain any of the employees' tips for any other purpose.

Under no circumstances may an employer receive tips from a tip pooling arrangement or permit a manager or supervisor to receive tips from a tip pooling arrangement.

(c) For purposes of determining whether a person is employed in an occupation in which the person customarily and regularly receives tips (as used in the definition of "tipped employee" under subsection (a)), the trier of fact shall consider the effect a person's job duties, efficiency, and service have on a customer's willingness and tendency to tip. A customer's willingness and tendency to tip may be affected by a person's work that directly supports or is itself the service function for which a customer would tip, regardless of whether the person personally performs the service function. Direct customer interaction is not a requisite or a determinative factor.

(d) The general assembly intends for this section to apply retroactively to remedy a legal issue that arose following Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, 603 U.S. 369 (2024), handed down on June 28, 2024.

Public policy; construction of chapter
Status: in_force

Sec. 2. (a) It is the public policy of the state to provide all of its citizens equal opportunity for education, employment, access to public conveniences and accommodations, and acquisition through purchase or rental of real property, including but not limited to housing, and to eliminate segregation or separation based solely on race, religion, color, sex, disability, national origin, or ancestry, since such segregation is an impediment to equal opportunity. Equal education and employment opportunities and equal access to and use of public accommodations and equal opportunity for acquisition of real property are hereby declared to be civil rights.

(b) The practice of denying these rights to properly qualified persons by reason of the race, religion, color, sex, disability, national origin, or ancestry of such person is contrary to the principles of freedom and equality of opportunity and is a burden to the objectives of the public policy of this state and shall be considered as discriminatory practices. The promotion of equal opportunity without regard to race, religion, color, sex, disability, national origin, or ancestry through reasonable methods is the purpose of this chapter.

(c) It is also the public policy of this state to protect employers, labor organizations, employment agencies, property owners, real estate brokers, builders, and lending institutions from unfounded charges of discrimination.

(d) It is hereby declared to be contrary to the public policy of the state and an unlawful practice for any person, for profit, to induce or attempt to induce any person to sell or rent any dwelling by representations regarding the entry or prospective entry into the neighborhood of a person or persons of a particular race, religion, color, sex, disability, national origin, or ancestry.

(e) The general assembly recognizes that on February 16, 1972, there are institutions of learning in Indiana presently and traditionally following the practice of limiting admission of students to males or to females. It is further recognized that it would be unreasonable to impose upon these institutions the expense of remodeling facilities to accommodate students of both sexes, and that educational facilities of similar quality and type are available in coeducational institutions for those students desiring such facilities. It is further recognized that this chapter is susceptible of interpretation to prevent these institutions from continuing their traditional policies, a result not intended by the general assembly. Therefore, the amendment effected by Acts 1972, P.L.176, is desirable to permit the continuation of the policies described.

(f) It is against the public policy of the state and a discriminatory practice for an employer to discriminate against a prospective employee on the basis of status as a veteran by:

(1) refusing to employ an applicant for employment on the basis that the applicant is a veteran of the armed forces of the United States; or

(2) refusing to employ an applicant for employment on the basis that the applicant is a member of the Indiana National Guard or member of a reserve component.

(g) It is against the public policy of the state for any person to violate another person's rights protected by the Constitution of the United States or the Constitution of the State of Indiana.

(h) This chapter shall be construed broadly to effectuate its purpose.
