Indiana HB1360 establishes an electronic portal for public records requests and sets fees for non-residents.

HB1360 requires public agencies to create an electronic portal for public records requests, ensuring requests are from human users and verifying requestors' addresses. It prioritizes requests from Indiana residents and those for civic, journalistic, academic, or personal use. The bill also mandates a supplemental fee for non-residents or out-of-state entities. It defines terms like "enhanced access," "law enforcement recording," and "data scraping," and allows the general assembly to set procedural safeguards for public agency resources. Effective July 1, 2026.
