Civil immunity for broadcast or display of blue alert

Sec. 12. (a) A broadcaster or electronic billboard operator that has agreed to participate in the blue alert program and that: (1) receives a blue alert notification from the department; and (2) broadcasts or displays information contained in the notification that the department considers necessary; is immune from civil liability based on the broadcast or display of the information received from the department. (b) If: (1) a person enters into an agreement with the department to establish or maintain a blue alert web site; and (2) the agreement provides that only the department has the ability to place information on the web site; the person is immune from civil liability for the information placed on the web site by the department. However, this subsection does not affect the applicability of IC 34-13-3 to the department. As added by P.L.38-2013, SEC.1.
