Indiana Legislative Report

Public Camping and Homelessness Crackdowns Another set of laws targets public camping and encampments. Beginning July 1, Indiana imposes tight restrictions—effectively a statewide crackdown on many forms of unsheltered homelessness in public spaces.

Teen Drivers Can Get Licenses Sooner Starting July 1, Hoosier teens will be able to get their driver’s license slightly earlier. Under prior law, most teens had to wait until age 16 years and 90 days. The new law lowers the age to 16, subject to the usual Bureau of Motor Vehicles training and testing requirements.
