Intr Text

Indiana HB1404 clarifies that workplace violence restraining orders are exempt from labor dispute injunction limitations.

Indiana HB1404 amends the state's labor and safety laws to ensure that workplace violence restraining orders are not subject to the limitations on injunctions for labor disputes. This applies specifically to cases where the dispute is between two employees over a personal controversy, excluding those involving claims governed by a collective bargaining agreement. Effective July 1, 2026, this change aims to protect employees from unlawful violence or credible threats of violence arising from personal disputes.
