Rep. O’Brien: Legislation strengthening EMS services passes committee

0

STATEHOUSE (Jan. 12, 2026) – A bill authored by State Rep. Tim O’Brien (R-Evansville) that would classify emergency medical services as essential under Indiana law recently passed out of the House Veterans Affairs and Public Safety Committee.

O’Brien said House Bill 1251 passed the committee unanimously, receiving bipartisan support.

HB 1215 formally recognizes EMS as an essential public service, like police and fire departments. O’Brien said during a committee hearing that this classification makes a clear and important statement— ambulance services are not optional or secondary, but a critical public safety mechanism.

“By formally recognizing EMS as an essential service, we are giving communities the tools they need to better support first responders, strengthen response times and ensure Hoosiers can count on help when it matters most,” O’Brien said. “I am thrilled to see so many in support of making this change and creating a more reliable emergency response system for all Hoosiers.”

O’Brien said his bill would also have county commissioners identify underserved areas and contract with providers to establish EMS services.

O’Brien authored a law in 2024 to have the Indiana Department of Homeland Security conduct a comprehensive overview of EMS services across the state. The report found significant gaps in EMS staffing levels across districts, notable variation in basic and advanced life support services across counties, including no coverage in some townships, and difficulty recruiting and retaining EMS workers in certain areas.

0
With the end of the holiday season, Attorney General Todd Rokita is calling on Hoosiers to check recently purchased items and gifts for safety recalls and take immediate action if they own any products listed.

“During this busy season, recalled products can be easily overlooked,” Attorney General Todd Rokita said. “A quick review of these recalls can spare your family unnecessary worry and prevent a defective gift from causing real harm.”

The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports the following products were recalled in December:

Opportunity to Acquire a Legacy Online News Publication: City-County Observer

0

 

For over two decades, the City-County Observer has been a recognizable and trusted name in local digital journalism. Built during a time when community-focused reporting mattered most, the Observer established itself as a platform for government transparency, civic dialogue, and independent reporting. Today, it presents a rare opportunity: the chance to acquire a legacy online newspaper with an established brand, existing readership, and significant growth potential.

A Recognized Name with Community Credibility

The City-County Observer is not a startup—it is a known entity. The name carries weight in the community, particularly among readers who value local government coverage, public accountability, and independent commentary. In an era when local journalism is disappearing, this publication represents something increasingly rare: brand recognition tied to civic trust.

For the right buyer, the City-County Observer is more than a website—it is a foundation. One that can be revitalized, expanded, and positioned for long-term success in the future of local media.

Stay aware, alert and educated on trafficking

0
January is recognized as National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness about human trafficking and educate the public about how to identify and prevent this crime.

Human trafficking includes both sex trafficking and forced labor. Besides robbing victims of their freedom and dignity, it also enriches criminals and terrorists and threatens public safety. There are estimated to be more than 27 million people, both adults and children, subjected to human trafficking around the world, including in the United States.
In 2018, the General Assembly passed House Enrolled Act 1270, which significantly updated Indiana’s human trafficking statutes, redefined offenses and ultimately strengthened anti-trafficking efforts in the state. Last session, we passed HEA 1416, which helps raise awareness by requiring places like rest areas, gas stations and welcome centers to display human trafficking awareness information.The National Human Trafficking Hotline lists different signs and societal factors that can lead to trafficking. It’s important to know that anyone can experience trafficking in any community, just as anyone can be the victim of any kind of crime. If you see something, say something. You can call the hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text “BEFREE” or “HELP” to 233733.

Additionally, Jan. 11 is recognized as National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, also known as Wear Blue Day. Wearing blue helps to raise awareness on the issue. During this time, take a moment to learn the facts, end the misconceptions and start conversations about trafficking.
