Indiana HB1173 defines "designated public forum" and outlines restrictions on speech in such forums.

Indiana HB1173 defines a "designated public forum" as property owned by a political subdivision that has been intentionally opened for expressive activity. The bill allows agencies to impose time, place, and manner restrictions on speech in these forums, provided the restrictions are justified by a compelling interest, narrowly tailored, administered using the least restrictive means, and viewpoint neutral.
