Indiana SB0291 establishes roles for court marshals in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals to enhance court security.

Indiana SB0291 amends the Indiana Code to create roles for court marshals in the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. These marshals are tasked with ensuring the safety and security of justices, judges, and court staff. They can access specific criminal and law enforcement information for security purposes, carry weapons, and use necessary force to maintain order. They have limited police powers, must notify local law enforcement of threats, and cannot respond to unrelated local incidents.
