Lorissa Sweet (R-Wabash) (far left) to strengthen public safety by banning signal jamming devices on Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2025, at the Statehouse in Indianapolis. These devices block electronic communications to confuse security systems and evade law enforcement. The new law criminalizes the use, sale, manufacturing and distribution of radio frequency jamming devices unless authorized by federal law.
