(Evansville, IN) – Governor Mike Braun today joined State Rep. Tim O’Brien, Evansville Mayor Stephanie Taylor, Vanderburgh County Prosecutor Diana Moers, and family and friends of Susan Haynie for a ceremonial signing of House Enrolled Act 1250, a new public safety law inspired by the tragic death of Evansville real estate agent Susan Haynie.
HEA 1250, strengthens notification requirements when violent felons are released. The law requires advance notice to local law enforcement, prosecutors, chiefs of police, and registered victims when a serious violent felon is set to be released.
“Public safety is our highest responsibility, and keeping Hoosiers safe is always at the top of our minds. This law closes a dangerous information gap by making sure local law enforcement, prosecutors, and victims are not caught by surprise when a serious violent felon is released back into the community. This is common sense, and it will help keep Hoosiers safe," said Governor Mike Braun.
