HB1017

Indiana HB1017 requires postsecondary educational institutions to notify a student's designated medical emergency contact if a medical emergency.

HB1017 mandates that postsecondary educational institutions in Indiana establish a procedure for students to designate a medical emergency contact. If a student experiences a medical emergency on campus and the institution is aware of it, they must notify the designated contact within 24 hours. The bill does not require notification for emergencies that do not occur on campus or if the institution is unaware of the emergency. Effective July 1, 2026.
