Gov. Mike Braun, front center, signs legislation authored by State Rep. Alaina Shonkwiler (R-Noblesville), front, second from right, into law May 28 to ensure law enforcement officers share critical data more efficiently. House Enrolled Act 1232 ensures that information such as data on stolen vehicles, firearms, license plates and active warrants be entered into or updated in the Indiana Data and Communications System within 24 hours of receipt. The goal is to ensure officers across the state have accurate and up-to-date information while protecting Hoosiers and first responders. Shonkwiler said the new law will strengthen accountability by allowing the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute to withhold grant funding from agencies that fail to meet the 24-hour update requirement.
