HB 1040, Battery Against School and Healthcare Employees, was called down on second reading on Thursday. This bill increases the penalty to felony level offenses for causing harm to a healthcare employee (defined as one who is employed by an entity that is licensed, certified or authorized to administer health care in the ordinary course of business or practice of the profession) or to a school employee. This bill also requires employers of healthcare or school employees to make a report to the Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Labor twice a year regarding workplace battery incidents. Two second reading amendments were filed on the bill and only one, authored by Senator Freeman, was adopted. It was a technical change to move the reporting language to a different chapter of the Indiana Code.

Indiana Nurses Popped In and Watched the Second Reading Success Live!

77.06% of your ISNA membership dues are tax deductible! That means you’re not only investing in advocacy, leadership, and the future of nursing in Indiana — you’re also receiving a valuable financial benefit. Be sure to share this with your tax professional when preparing your return!

The Tri-Council (ISNA, IONL, ICN & ILN) is coordinating a sign‑on letter urging the U.S. Department of Education to recognize nursing and allied health programs as “professional” degrees in the proposed federal graduate loan rule. As written, the rule excludes nursing—despite the rigorous education, licensure, and essential workforce roles nurses fulfill.

This matters for Indiana nurses because our state depends heavily on graduate‑prepared nurses to staff rural and underserved communities, expand primary care and behavioral health access, and educate the next generation of nurses. Loan limits that undervalue nursing make these pathways less accessible and threaten Indiana’s already strained workforce pipeline.

Take Action: Add your name individually and urge your employer or organization to sign on to the joint letter to strengthen the collective voice of Indiana’s healthcare community.
