(2) be, at the discretion of the agency, in writing on or in a form provided by the agency.

No request may be denied because the person making the request refuses to state the purpose of the request, unless such condition is required by other applicable statute. If a request is for inspection or copying of a law enforcement recording, the request must provide the information required under subsection (i).

(b) A public agency may not deny or interfere with the exercise of the right stated in subsection (a). If the public agency does not deny the request, within a reasonable time after the request is received by the agency the public agency shall either:

Use of information received under subsection (d) in connection with the preparation or publication of news, for nonprofit activities, or for academic research is not prohibited. A person who uses information in a manner contrary to a rule or ordinance adopted under this subsection may be prohibited by the state agency or political subdivision from obtaining a copy or any further data under subsection (d).

(f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, a public agency is not required to create or provide copies of lists of names and addresses (including electronic mail account addresses) unless the public agency is required to publish such lists and disseminate them to the public under a statute. However, if a public agency has created a list of names and addresses (excluding electronic mail account addresses), it must permit a person to inspect and make memoranda abstracts from the list unless access to the list is prohibited by law. The lists of names and addresses (including electronic mail account addresses) described in subdivisions (1) through (3) may not be disclosed by public agencies to any individual or entity for political purposes and may not be used by any individual or entity for political purposes. In addition, the lists of names and addresses (including electronic mail account addresses) described in subdivisions (1) through (3) may not be disclosed by public agencies to commercial entities for commercial purposes and may not be used by commercial entities for commercial purposes.

if the contract, obligation, license, or copyright unreasonably impairs the right of the public to inspect and copy the agency's public records.

(h) If this section conflicts with IC 3-7, the provisions of IC 3-7 apply.

(i) A request to inspect or copy a law enforcement recording must be in writing. A request identifies a law enforcement recording with reasonable particularity as required by this section only if the request provides the following information regarding the law enforcement activity depicted in the recording:

Survivor benefits; forfeiture
Status: in_force

Sec. 7.5. (a) This subsection applies to members who die after March 31, 1990, and before January 1, 2007. A surviving dependent or surviving spouse of a member who dies in service is entitled to a survivor benefit if:

(1) the member has:

(A) at least ten (10) years of creditable service, if the member died in service as a member of the general assembly;

(B) at least fifteen (15) years of creditable service, if the member died in service in any other position covered by the retirement fund; or

(C) at least ten (10) years but not more than fourteen (14) years of creditable service if the member:

(i) was at least sixty-five (65) years of age; and

(ii) died in service in a position covered by the teachers' retirement fund; and

(2) the surviving dependent or surviving spouse qualifies for a survivor benefit under subsection (d) or (e).

(b) This subsection applies to members who die after December 31, 2006, and before July 1, 2018. A surviving dependent or surviving spouse of a member who dies is entitled to a survivor benefit if:

(1) the member has:

(A) at least ten (10) years of creditable service, if the member died in service as a member of the general assembly;

(B) at least ten (10) years but not more than fourteen (14) years of creditable service if the member was at least sixty-five (65) years of age and died in service in a position covered by the fund (other than a position described in clause (A)); or

(C) at least fifteen (15) years of creditable service, if the member died in service in a position covered by the fund (other than a position described in clause (A)); and

(2) the surviving dependent or surviving spouse qualifies for a survivor benefit under subsection (d) or (e).

(c) This subsection applies to a member who dies after June 30, 2018, regardless of whether the member dies in service in a position covered by the fund or the member dies out of service. A surviving dependent or surviving spouse of a member who dies is entitled to a survivor benefit if:

(1) the member has at least ten (10) years of creditable service; and

(2) the surviving dependent or surviving spouse qualifies for a survivor benefit under subsection (d) or (e).

(d) If a member described in subsection (a), (b), or (c) dies with a surviving spouse who was married to the member for at least two (2) years, the surviving spouse is entitled to a survivor benefit equal to the monthly pension benefit that would have been payable to the spouse under the joint and survivor option of IC 5-10.2-4-7 upon the member's death following retirement at:

(1) fifty (50) years of age; or

(2) the actual date of death;

whichever is later. However, benefits payable under this subsection are subject to subsections (g) and (i).

(e) If a member described in subsection (a), (b), or (c) dies without a surviving spouse who was married to the member for at least two (2) years, but with a surviving dependent, the surviving dependent is entitled to a survivor benefit in a monthly amount equal to the actuarial equivalent of the monthly pension benefit that would have been payable to the spouse (assuming the spouse would have had the same birth date as the member) under the joint and survivor option of IC 5-10.2-4-7 upon the member's death following retirement at:

(1) fifty (50) years of age; or

(2) the actual date of death;

whichever is later. If there are two (2) or more surviving dependents, the actuarial equivalent of the benefit described in this subsection shall be calculated and, considering the dependents' attained ages, an equal dollar amount shall be determined as the monthly pension benefit to be paid to each dependent. Monthly pension benefits under this subsection are payable until the date the dependent becomes eighteen (18) years of age or dies, whichever is earlier. However, if a dependent has a permanent and total disability (using disability guidelines established by the Social Security Administration) at the date the dependent reaches eighteen (18) years of age, the monthly pension benefit is payable until the date the dependent no longer has a disability (using disability guidelines established by the Social Security Administration) or dies, whichever is earlier. Benefits payable under this subsection are subject to subsections (g) and (i).

(f) This subsection applies if a member did not designate a beneficiary or the designated beneficiary does not survive the member. Except as provided in subsections (g) and (j), the surviving spouse or surviving dependent of a member who is entitled to a survivor benefit under subsection (d) or (e) or section 7.6 of this chapter may elect to receive one (1) or more lump sum payments that do not exceed in aggregate the total amount credited to the member in the member's annuity savings account or an amount equal to the member's federal income tax basis in the member's annuity savings account as of December 31, 1986.

(2) If the member is survived by two (2) or more designated beneficiaries, the designated beneficiaries are entitled to receive equal shares of the amount credited to the member's annuity savings account unless the member has allocated the shares among the designated beneficiaries in a manner authorized under IC 5-10.3-8-15 or IC 5-10.4-4-10, less any disability benefits paid to the member.

(1) without a surviving spouse or surviving dependent who qualifies for survivor benefits under subsection (d) or (e) or section 7.6 of this chapter; and

(2) without a surviving designated beneficiary who is entitled to receive the member's annuity savings account under subsection (g);

the amount credited to the member's annuity savings account, less any disability benefits paid to the member, shall be paid to the member's estate.

(i) Survivor benefits payable under this section or section 7.6 of this chapter shall be reduced by any disability benefits paid to the member.

(j) Additional annuity contributions, if any, shall not be included in determining survivor benefits under subsection (d) or (e) or section 7.6 of this chapter, but are payable in a lump sum payment to:

(1) the member's surviving designated beneficiary; or

(2) the member's estate, if there is no surviving designated beneficiary.

(k) Survivor benefits provided under this section or section 7.6 of this chapter are subject to IC 5-10.2-2-1.5.

(l) A benefit specified in this section shall be forfeited and credited in the manner determined by the board if no person entitled to the benefit claims it within three (3) years after the member's death. However, the board may honor a claim that is made more than three (3) years after the member's death if the board finds, in the board's discretion, that:

(1) the delay in making the claim was reasonable or other extenuating circumstances justify the award of the benefit to the claimant; and

(2) paying the claim would not cause a violation of the applicable Internal Revenue Service rules.

Attorney general and inspector general responsibilities in intervention; dismissal of action; settlement of action; limitations
Status: in_force

Sec. 5. (a) If the attorney general or the inspector general intervenes in an action under section 4 of this chapter, the attorney general or the inspector general is responsible for prosecuting the action and is not bound by an act of the person who initially filed the complaint. The attorney general or the inspector general may do the following:

(1) File a complaint.

(2) Amend the complaint of a person who has brought an action under section 4 of this chapter, to:

(A) clarify or add detail to the claims in which the state is intervening; or

(B) add additional claims to which the state contends the state is entitled to relief.

(3) Move for a change of venue to Marion County if the attorney general or the inspector general files a motion for change of venue not later than ten (10) days after the attorney general or the inspector general intervenes.

For statute of limitation purposes, a pleading filed by the attorney general or the inspector general relates back to the filing date of the complaint of the person who originally brought the action, to the extent that the claim of the state arises out of the conduct, transactions, or occurrences set forth, or attempted to be set forth, in the original filed complaint. Except as provided in this section, the person who initially filed the complaint may continue as a party to the action.

(b) With the approval of the court, the attorney general or the inspector general may dismiss the action after:

(1) notifying the person who initially filed the complaint; and

(2) the court has conducted a hearing at which the person who initially filed the complaint was provided the opportunity to be heard on the motion.

The court may consider a request by the attorney general or the inspector general to dismiss the action but is not bound by the request. Additionally, the court may permit the attorney general or inspector general to withdraw his or her appearance in the case and may permit the person who initially filed the complaint to continue to prosecute the action in the name of the state.

(c) The attorney general or the inspector general may settle the action if a court determines, after a hearing, that the proposed settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable in light of the circumstances. Upon a showing of good cause, the court may:

(1) conduct the settlement hearing in camera; or

(2) lift all or part of the seal to facilitate the investigative process or settlement.

The court may consider an objection to the settlement brought by the person who initially filed the complaint, but is not bound by this objection.

(d) Upon a showing by the attorney general, the inspector general, or the defendant that unrestricted participation by the person who initially filed the complaint:

(1) will interfere with or unduly delay the prosecution of the case by the attorney general or the inspector general;

(2) will involve the presentation of repetitious or irrelevant evidence, or evidence introduced for purposes of harassment; or

(3) will cause the defendant to suffer undue burden or unnecessary expense;

the court may impose reasonable limitations on the person's participation, including a limit on the number of witnesses that the person may call, a limit to the length of testimony that the person's witness may present, a limit to the person's cross-examination of a witness, or otherwise limit the participation by the person in the litigation.

(e) If the attorney general or the inspector general elects not to intervene in the action, the person who initially filed the complaint has the right to prosecute the action. Upon request, the attorney general or the inspector general shall be served with copies of all documents filed in the action and may obtain a copy of depositions and other transcripts at the state's expense.

(f) If the attorney general and the inspector general have elected not to intervene in an action in accordance with section 4 of this chapter, upon a showing of good cause, a court may permit either the attorney general or the inspector general to intervene at a later time. The attorney general may move to intervene at any time. If the attorney general has not moved to intervene, the inspector general may move to intervene by providing written notice to the attorney general of the inspector general's intent to intervene. If the attorney general does not move to intervene earlier than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the notice of intent to intervene, the inspector general may move to intervene. If the attorney general or the inspector general intervenes under this subsection, the attorney general or the inspector general is responsible for prosecuting the action as if the attorney general or the inspector general had intervened in accordance with section 4 of this chapter.

(g) If the attorney general or inspector general shows that a specific discovery action by the person who initially filed the complaint will interfere with the investigation or prosecution of a civil or criminal matter arising out of the same facts, the court may, following a hearing in camera, stay discovery for not more than sixty (60) days. After the court has granted a sixty (60) day stay, the court may extend the stay, following a hearing in camera, if it determines that the state has pursued the civil or criminal investigation with reasonable diligence and that a specific discovery action by the person who initially filed the complaint will interfere with the state's investigation or prosecution of the civil or criminal matter.

(h) A court may dismiss an action brought under this chapter to permit the attorney general or the inspector general to pursue its claim through an alternative proceeding, including an administrative proceeding or a proceeding brought in another jurisdiction. The person who initially filed the complaint has the same rights in the alternative proceedings as the person would have had in the original proceedings. A finding of fact or conclusion of law made in the alternative proceeding is binding on all parties to an action under this section once the determination made in the alternative proceeding is final under the rules, regulations, statutes, or law governing the alternative proceeding, or if the time for seeking an appeal or review of the determination made in the alternative proceeding has elapsed.

Denial of disclosure; action to compel disclosure; intervenors; burden of proof; attorney's fees and costs
Status: in_force

Sec. 9. (a) This section does not apply to a request for information under section 4.4 of this chapter.

(b) A denial of disclosure by a public agency occurs when the person making the request is physically present in the office of the agency, makes the request by telephone, or requests enhanced access to a document and:

(1) the person designated by the public agency as being responsible for public records release decisions refuses to permit inspection and copying of a public record when a request has been made; or

(2) twenty-four (24) hours elapse after any employee of the public agency refuses to permit inspection and copying of a public record when a request has been made;

whichever occurs first.

(c) If a person requests a copy or copies of a public record by mail, by facsimile, or through an electronic portal under section 3.3 of this chapter, a denial of disclosure does not occur until seven (7) days have elapsed from the date the public agency receives the request.

(d) If a request is made orally, either in person or by telephone, a public agency may deny the request orally. However, if a request initially is made in writing, by facsimile, or through enhanced access, or if an oral request that has been denied is renewed in writing or by facsimile, a public agency may deny the request if:

(1) the denial is in writing or by facsimile; and

(2) the denial includes:

(A) a statement of the specific exemption or exemptions authorizing the withholding of all or part of the public record; and

(B) the name and the title or position of the person responsible for the denial.

(e) A person who has been denied the right to inspect or copy a public record by a public agency may file an action in the circuit or superior court of the county in which the denial occurred to compel the public agency to permit the person to inspect and copy the public record. Whenever an action is filed under this subsection, the public agency must notify each person who supplied any part of the public record at issue:

(1) that a request for release of the public record has been denied; and

(2) whether the denial was in compliance with an informal inquiry response or advisory opinion of the public access counselor.

Such persons are entitled to intervene in any litigation that results from the denial. The person who has been denied the right to inspect or copy need not allege or prove any special damage different from that suffered by the public at large.

(f) The court shall determine the matter de novo, with the burden of proof on the public agency to sustain its denial. If the issue in de novo review under this section is whether a public agency properly denied access to a public record because the record is exempted under section 4(a) of this chapter, the public agency meets its burden of proof under this subsection by establishing the content of the record with adequate specificity and not by relying on a conclusory statement or affidavit.

(g) This subsection does not apply to an action under section 5.2 of this chapter. If the issue in a de novo review under this section is whether a public agency properly denied access to a public record because the record is exempted under section 4(b) of this chapter:

(1) the public agency meets its burden of proof under this subsection by:

(A) proving that:

(i) the record falls within any one (1) of the categories of exempted records under section 4(b) of this chapter; and

(ii) if the action is for denial of access to a recording under section 5.1 of this chapter, the plaintiff is not a "requestor" as that term is defined in section 5.1 of this chapter; and

(B) establishing the content of the record with adequate specificity and not by relying on a conclusory statement or affidavit; and

(2) a person requesting access to a public record meets the person's burden of proof under this subsection by proving that the denial of access is arbitrary or capricious.

(h) The court may review the public record in camera to determine whether any part of it may be withheld under this chapter. However, if the complaint alleges that a public agency denied disclosure of a public record by redacting information in the public record, the court shall conduct an in camera inspection of the public record with the redacted information included.

(i) Except as provided in subsection (k), in any action filed under this section, a court shall award reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other reasonable expenses of litigation to the prevailing party if:

(1) the plaintiff substantially prevails; or

(2) the defendant substantially prevails and the court finds the action was frivolous or vexatious.

Except as provided in subsection (k), the plaintiff is not eligible for the awarding of attorney's fees, court costs, and other reasonable expenses if the plaintiff filed the action without first seeking and receiving an informal inquiry response or advisory opinion from the public access counselor, unless the plaintiff can show the filing of the action was necessary because the denial of access to a public record under this chapter would prevent the plaintiff from presenting that public record to a public agency preparing to act on a matter of relevance to the public record whose disclosure was denied.

(j) Except as provided in subsection (k), a court may assess a civil penalty under section 9.5 of this chapter only if the plaintiff obtained an advisory opinion from the public access counselor before filing an action under this section as set forth in section 9.5 of this chapter.

(k) This subsection applies only to an action to appeal the denial of access to a law enforcement recording under section 5.1 of this chapter. A requestor (as defined in section 5.1 of this chapter) may bring an action to appeal from the denial of access to a law enforcement recording without first seeking or receiving an informal inquiry response or advisory opinion from the public access counselor. If the requestor prevails in an action under this subsection:

(1) the requestor is eligible for an award of reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other reasonable expenses; and

(2) a court may assess a civil penalty under section 9.5 of this chapter.

(l) A court shall expedite the hearing of an action filed under this section.
