HB 1274 Indiana House · 2026 Regular Session

Insurance mandated gun free zone notices.

HB 1274 prevents insurance companies from requiring policyholders or potential customers to post or display "gun-free zone" notices on their property. This directly affects homeowners and renters who purchase insurance, as insurers can no longer mandate these specific signage requirements. The bill's key provision prohibits insurers from including such notice-posting as a condition for coverage or policy renewal. The bill passed the House on January 28, 2026, and is now under review by the Senate Committee on Insurance and Financial Institutions.
