Summary of Legislation: This bill authorizes the State Police Department (ISP) to issue an administrative
subpoena to obtain certain records, if: (1) the subpoena relates to an investigation of an offense that involves
the sexual exploitation of a minor; and (2) there is reasonable cause to believe that an Internet or electronic
service account has been used in the sexual exploitation or attempted sexual exploitation of the minor.
Effective Date: July 1, 2024.
Explanation of State Expenditures: This bill could reduce the workload for ISP to issue subpoenas
concerning child sex crimes. ISP indicates that currently detectives who work with the Indiana Internet
Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) prepare subpoenas, provide them to local prosecuting attorneys,
who then file the subpoenas in front of a local judge for signature. Giving the ISP the power to issue a
subpoena for these types of cases could reduce the workload for ISP.
