SB251CONTROLLED PROJECTS. (KENLEY L) Provides that for purposes of determining whether a capital project by a political subdivision located in Hamilton County, other than a school corporation, is a controlled project for purposes of the petition and remonstrance process or the referendum process, the cost of the project does not include any expenditures that will be paid from money that has accumulated or has been deposited by the political subdivision in a fund. Specifies that the political subdivision must, before the preliminary determination is made for the capital project, segregate the money as provided in a capital improvement plan, a capital development plan, or a similar plan adopted by the political subdivision. (Current law also excludes any expenditures that will be paid from donations or other gifts.) Provides that a person that owns property within a political subdivision or a person that is a registered voter residing within a political subdivision may file a petition with the department of local government finance (DLGF) objecting that the political subdivision has artificially divided a capital project into multiple capital projects in order to avoid the petition and remonstrance requirements or the referendum requirements. (Current law prohibits the artificial division of capital projects for such a purpose.) Requires the DLGF to make a final determination not later than 30 days after receiving the petition.

SB307CONSUMER PROTECTION. (BRAY R) Amends the statute concerning telephone solicitations of consumers (Indiana's "do not call" law) to provide that a person may not provide substantial assistance or support to a telephone solicitor, a supplier, or a caller if the person knows or consciously avoids knowing that the telephone solicitor, supplier, or caller has violated the "do not call" law or the statute concerning the regulation of automatic dialing machines. Specifies that a communications service provider: (1) does not violate this prohibition; and (2) is not subject to any criminal penalties or civil remedies set forth in the "do not call" law or the statute concerning automatic dialing machines; if the communications service provider's equipment or services are used only to transport, handle, or retransmit a communication that violates those statutes. Amends the statute concerning the investigation and prosecution of complaints concerning regulated occupations to add to the permissible reasons for disclosing information concerning a complaint a disclosure that is made to a law enforcement agency that has or is reasonably believed to have jurisdiction over a person or matter involved in the complaint. Adds a new provision to the statute concerning life insurance companies and policies to provide that a life insurance policy or certificate: (1) that is issued after June 30, 2015; (2) the proceeds of which may be designated for use in the purchase of funeral services or merchandise upon the death of the insured; and (3) the ownership of which is not irrevocably assigned to a trustee and used to fund a prepaid funeral services contract under the statute governing such contracts; may not be delivered or issued for delivery in Indiana unless the life insurance policy or certificate either contains or includes in an attached disclaimer certain provisions. Provides that an issuer of such a life insurance policy or certificate may not represent to any person that the life insurance policy or certificate is: (1) a contract for prepaid funeral services under the statute governing such contracts; or (2) a funeral policy or a policy with any similar designation. Provides that a person that willfully violates these provisions commits an unfair and deceptive act or practice in the business of insurance.
