Who Can Inject Botox in Indiana? 2026 SB 282 Rules

Indiana is, right now, the most consequential state in the country to get this question wrong. For most of the last decade the honest answer to "what are Indiana's med spa rules?" was that Indiana did not have any — no medical spa statute, no facility licence, no registry, and no agency that inspected an aesthetics practice as an aesthetics practice. Authority came entirely from the general licensing statutes in Title 25 of the Indiana Code and the boards administered by the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency (PLA). That is no longer the case, and the practices that have not noticed are operating on a map that expired in July.

This guide works licence by licence, with a direct verdict for each role, and it separates three things that are easy to blur: what Senate Bill 282 actually says, what Indiana's pre-existing licensing law already required, and what remains genuinely unsettled while the boards write rules. For the national picture, our who can inject Botox across the United States guide sets every state side by side, and the med spa regulations by state reference places Indiana beside Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, and Kentucky.

SB 282: What Indiana Actually Enacted — and What It Did Not

Senate Bill 282 was carried in the second regular session of the 124th General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Mike Braun on March 5, 2026. Its two halves are unrelated on the surface: the first regulates the compounding of drugs using bulk drug substances and directs state agencies to publish periodic reports on compounding risks and benefits; the second creates a registration scheme for medical spas at a new chapter of the Indiana Code, IC 25-22.5-12.5, administered by the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana. The two halves belong together in practice, because the compounded-drug supply chain and the aesthetics clinic have been converging for three years.

The American Med Spa Association, which lobbied on the bill and has written about it extensively, describes SB 282 as the first comprehensive state medical spa law in the country, and as the first of a set of near-identical bills filed in other states. That framing is worth holding lightly — Tennessee already registers medical spas by name, and Florida, Arizona, and Iowa have their own vehicles moving — but the substance behind it is real. Indiana did not simply add a signage rule or a disclosure requirement. It created a facility-level registration, a named accountable clinician, a reporting duty, and a location restriction, all in one chapter.

What SB 282 does

Reading the enrolled act and the summaries published by the Indiana General Assembly and AmSpa together, the medical spa half of the bill does the following:

• Registration. Beginning January 1, 2027, medical spas must register with the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana. The application is reported to require the spa to identify the prescription drugs it uses, including compounded drugs.
• A public database. The board must establish and maintain a publicly accessible database of registered medical spas — which means your registration status, and eventually your enforcement history, become searchable by patients and by plaintiffs' counsel.
• A responsible practitioner. Every medical spa must designate one, that person must meet qualifications set by the statute, and the statute assigns them specific duties rather than a decorative title.
• A good faith examination performed by a prescriber. The exam requirement is limited to physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. Registered nurses are not eligible to perform it.
• Adverse event reporting. A serious adverse event — reported as a death, a life-threatening medical event, or a hospitalisation — must be reported to the board within 15 days.
• A location restriction. Medical spas may not provide services at locations other than the registered office, with an exception for educational purposes. Pop-up Botox parties and hotel-suite events are the obvious targets.
• Advertising obligations. The board may act against deceptive or misleading advertising, including by suspending a registration, and may refer licensed practitioners to their own governing boards.

The scope of "medical spa" is drawn broadly. Commentators reading the enrolled text describe it as reaching medical spas, IV hydration clinics, weight-loss practices dispensing GLP-1 medications, and any facility that provides medical treatments, uses prescription drugs or injectables, and markets aesthetic, wellness, or longevity services. If you run a semaglutide programme out of a suite that also does lip filler, assume you are in.

What SB 282 does not do

Just as important, and much less discussed. SB 282 does not publish a procedure-by-procedure list of authorised injectors. It does not amend the Nursing Practice Act, expand or contract what a registered nurse may do, or grant nurse practitioners independent prescriptive authority. It does not create an inspection regime on the Florida model, where an agency arrives unannounced to walk your treatment rooms. And it does not answer most of the operational questions an owner will ask first: what the registration fee is, what the form looks like, how renewal works, how the board will define a sufficient amount of on-site time, or what documentation a registered spa must retain.

Those answers are coming through rulemaking by the Medical Licensing Board and the Board of Pharmacy, and as of this writing they have not been published. That is the single most important thing to understand about Indiana in 2026: the statute is final, the implementation is not. Any consultant quoting you a specific on-site hour requirement or a specific registration fee today is telling you an assumption. We have written the same caution into our 2026 state regulatory changes tracker, which follows how these bills mature from signature into enforceable rules.

Why the dates matter more than they look

Two dates, and practices conflate them constantly. July 1, 2026 is when the conduct rules took effect — the good faith examination requirement, the responsible practitioner duties, the location restriction, the reporting obligation. January 1, 2027 is when registration opens and becomes required. The instinct is to treat January as the compliance date and to keep operating unchanged until then. That instinct is backwards. Registration is paperwork you can complete in an afternoon; restructuring who performs your exams and how your oversight is documented takes months, and the obligation to have done it has already started running.

Injecting Botox Is the Practice of Medicine in Indiana

Everything downstream depends on one classification. Under IC 25-22.5-1-1.1, the practice of medicine includes holding oneself out as being able to diagnose, treat, operate on, or prescribe for a human condition, and it reaches the prescribing and administering of drugs to a person. Botulinum toxin — Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify — and hyaluronic-acid dermal fillers are prescription products. Both the decision to use one on a particular face and the act of putting it there sit inside the medical practice act.

Cosmetic purpose does not move an injection out of medicine. This is the argument owners reach for most often — that a wrinkle is not a disease, so treating it is not treatment — and no Indiana authority supports it. SB 282 goes the other way, pulling aesthetic, wellness, and longevity marketing explicitly into a chapter of the medical practice article.

Unlicensed practice is a criminal matter, not a paperwork problem

Under IC 25-22.5-8-1 it is unlawful for a person to practise medicine or osteopathic medicine in Indiana without holding a licence, and IC 25-22.5-8-2 attaches a criminal penalty to that violation. We are deliberately not quoting a felony class here: Indiana reclassified its criminal offences in 2014 and the penalty language in older licensing statutes has been amended unevenly, so anyone asserting a specific class should be reading the current section rather than a secondary summary. What matters operationally is the shape of the exposure — it is criminal, not merely regulatory, and it does not attach only to the person holding the syringe. The licensed practitioner whose delegation made the injection possible faces separate discipline before their own board.

The rulebooks you actually read

Four, and now a fifth. The Medical Licensing Board of Indiana governs physicians and osteopathic physicians under IC 25-22.5 and now administers the med spa chapter. Physician assistants are licensed under IC 25-27.5. The Indiana State Board of Nursing governs advanced practice registered nurses, registered nurses, and licensed practical nurses under IC 25-23-1 and Title 848 of the Indiana Administrative Code. The Indiana State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners governs estheticians and cosmetologists under IC 25-8 and Title 820. All of them sit administratively under the PLA, which is where licence verification, complaint intake, and board meeting notices live. The fifth is IC 25-22.5-12.5 itself.

The practical consequence of that structure is that no single agency publishes the whole answer for a med spa, and none of them will confirm your staffing model in advance. Compliance attaches to individual credentials and to the delegation relationships connecting them — which is exactly how a practice can look correct from the street for years while being structurally out of compliance in its staffing.

Who Can Legally Inject Botox in Indiana: The Provider Table

Verdicts first, reasoning after. Every row assumes the product is a prescription drug obtained through a lawful channel and that a valid patient-specific order exists.

The three questions behind every row

Any Indiana injector question decomposes into three: who may evaluate the patient and decide that treatment is appropriate; who may order the prescription drug; and who may administer it. Before SB 282, Indiana answered the first two only by implication, through the medical practice act and the prescriptive authority statutes. The new chapter answers the first one directly and narrowly — a prescriber, and not a registered nurse. That is the single largest practical change the bill makes to daily operations in an aesthetics clinic.

Why "the medical director signed off" is not an answer

The most common Indiana staffing model we see is an RN-owned or RN-staffed clinic with a physician on a monthly retainer who has never met a patient, and whose contribution is a signed protocol and a name on the wall. That model was already fragile under the medical practice act. SB 282 makes it considerably worse, because the statute now names a responsible practitioner, assigns them duties, requires them to be on site for a sufficient amount of time, and puts their spa in a public database. Our med spa medical director guide works through what genuine oversight looks like when it is documented rather than asserted.

Physicians and Osteopathic Physicians: Indiana's Independent Injectors

Verdict: yes, without condition. A physician or osteopathic physician licensed under IC 25-22.5 may evaluate a patient, determine candidacy, prescribe the neuromodulator or filler, and inject it, all on their own authority. They are the only role on the table for whom that sentence needs no qualifier. They are also the only role that can originate a delegation to someone else.

What a physician may delegate

Indiana's delegation framework is general rather than aesthetics-specific: it comes from the medical practice act and the boards' expectations, not from a rule listing cosmetic procedures. The controlling limit is one Indiana shares with most states — a physician may delegate the performance of a task, but not the exercise of medical judgment that the physician's own training exists to supply. Determining that a patient is an appropriate candidate for a neurotoxin, selecting the product, and setting units are judgment. Drawing up a dose and administering it on a specific order is a task.

Training before delegating

A physician cannot competently supervise a procedure they cannot perform. Indiana has no rule that says this in the express terms Washington and Colorado use, but every board that has considered the question has reached the same place, and SB 282's responsible practitioner duties assume it. If your delegating physician is an internist whose exposure to facial anatomy ended in medical school, the delegation is defensible on paper and indefensible in a deposition. Document the physician's own training in each delegated procedure, and keep it current — this is the file a board asks for first when a complication surfaces.

Nurse Practitioners: Prescriptive Authority Runs Through a Collaborative Agreement

Verdict: yes, and they may perform the good faith exam — but the prescribing half is conditional. SB 282 names nurse practitioners among the prescribers who may perform the examination, which settles a question other states leave to inference. What the bill does not do is change how Indiana grants prescriptive authority in the first place.

Indiana is not a full practice authority state

This is the point most out-of-state operators get wrong when they open an Indianapolis or Fort Wayne location. Indiana remains a restricted practice jurisdiction: an advanced practice registered nurse's authority to prescribe legend drugs is conditioned on a collaborative practice agreement with a licensed practitioner under IC 25-23-1, with the Indiana State Board of Nursing administering the requirement and Title 848, Article 5 of the Administrative Code governing prescriptive authority. The PLA publishes a sample collaborative practice agreement template, which is the closest thing to a checklist the state offers.

What the agreement has to do, and what it cannot do

A collaborative agreement is not a formality you sign once and file. It is expected to describe how the APRN and the collaborating practitioner will cooperate, coordinate, and consult in the care of patients, and it is subject to review. Two failure modes recur in aesthetics: agreements that describe a primary-care practice while the APRN spends every clinical hour injecting neurotoxin, and agreements whose collaborating physician has moved, retired, or been replaced without the document being updated. Either one puts the prescriptive authority in question — and if the prescriptive authority is in question, so is every good faith exam and every order behind every injection.

HB 1116, and what did not happen

Because this gets misreported constantly: House Bill 1116 in the 2025 session would have removed the practice agreement requirement for APRNs, removed the provision requiring an APRN to operate under a collaborative agreement or hospital privileges, and permitted prescribing of certain Schedule II drugs for weight reduction. It did not become law. Indiana was a restricted practice state before that bill and remains one. Do not build a nurse-practitioner-owned Indiana med spa on the assumption that full practice authority arrived — verify the current status of any successor bill with the Indiana General Assembly before you rely on it.

Physician Assistants: A Collaborative Agreement the Board Actually Receives

Verdict: yes, within the four corners of the agreement. Indiana physician assistants are licensed under IC 25-27.5 and practise with a collaborating physician. SB 282 includes PAs among the prescribers who may perform the good faith exam.

The agreement goes to the board

Indiana's PA framework is unusually document-forward, and that is good news for a med spa. Under IC 25-27.5-5-2, the collaborative agreement must set out the terms of collaboration, including emergency procedures the PA must follow, and — for prescribing — must name the drug or drug classification being delegated and the protocol the PA will follow in prescribing it. The physician submits the agreement to the board, and the PA may prescribe under it unless the board denies it. Amendments must be resubmitted. For an aesthetics practice, that means botulinum toxin products and dermal fillers should be named or clearly classified in the agreement, with the injection protocol attached — not left to be inferred from a general grant.

The four-PA ceiling

Under IC 25-27.5-6-2, a physician may supervise not more than four physician assistants at one time. Multi-site operators hit this quietly: a single collaborating physician signed across five locations is not a documentation problem, it is a statutory violation, and it is trivially visible once a spa's registration and responsible practitioner are in a public database. Count your agreements before January.

Registered Nurses and LPNs: The Order Is Everything

Verdict for RNs: yes, as a delegate — never on independent authority, and never as the evaluator. This is where Indiana practice is most concentrated and where the state's own guidance is thinnest, so it deserves an honest treatment rather than a confident one.

What Indiana has actually said — and what it has not

Indiana has no board rule and no published State Board of Nursing position statement squarely addressing cosmetic injection by a registered nurse. Several states — North Carolina, Ohio, Washington among them — have issued exactly that kind of document. Indiana has not. SB 282 did not fill the gap either; it regulates the facility, the responsible practitioner, the examination, and the reporting duty, and it does not enumerate who may perform each procedure.

What exists is the general framework, and it is enough to answer the question in outline. Injecting a prescription drug is the practice of medicine, so an RN's participation is lawful only as a delegated act performed on a prescriber's order, within the scope of registered nursing under IC 25-23-1. That is the structure every Indiana attorney we have read builds on. What Indiana has not told you is the detail: how specific the order must be, what competency documentation the board expects, or whether a prescriber must be physically present. Where the state is silent, we are saying so rather than inventing a rule.

What an RN may never decide

The boundary is clearer than the mechanics. A registered nurse holds no diagnostic or prescriptive authority in Indiana. Candidacy, product selection, dilution, injection sites, and units belong to the prescriber who examined that patient. SB 282 hardens this considerably by putting the good faith examination in prescriber-only hands: an RN who evaluates the patient and then injects is not merely documenting badly, they are performing the one act the statute reserves, and the injection that follows has no lawful order behind it. Build the workflow so the prescriber's evaluation is a real, separately documented encounter that precedes the order.

Licensed practical nurses, and why the answer is narrower

Verdict for LPNs: narrower still, and high risk. An LPN in Indiana practises a directed scope under the supervision of a registered nurse, physician, or other authorised practitioner. Indiana has published nothing on LPN cosmetic injection, and the absence of guidance is not permission — it is unallocated risk. States that have addressed the question generally impose tighter supervision on LPNs than on RNs, often requiring on-site presence. Absent Indiana authority, an LPN injector programme should not be assumed lawful, and if you run one, you should have written advice from Indiana counsel supporting it rather than a consultant's slide.

Estheticians, Cosmetologists, Medical Assistants, and Unlicensed Staff

Verdict: no, for all of them, with no delegation route that changes it. This is the least ambiguous part of Indiana law and, reliably, the most commonly violated.

The cosmetology board's line

Estheticians and cosmetologists are licensed by the Indiana State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners under IC 25-8, with rules at Title 820 of the Indiana Administrative Code covering curriculum, equipment, and sanitation. The esthetics scope is care and beautification of the skin by non-invasive means — cleansing, exfoliation, facials, waxing and hair removal, makeup, and the equipment the board's esthetics rules contemplate. There is no injection authority anywhere in it, and there is no provision allowing a physician to delegate one into it.

That last point is what practices miss. Delegation flows to people whose own licence lets them receive the task; it does not manufacture medical scope for a beauty licence. An esthetician who injects is practising medicine without a licence under IC 25-22.5-8-1, and the physician or nurse practitioner who permitted it is exposed to discipline before their own board for aiding it — an exposure that now sits alongside a named responsible practitioner and a public registration.

Medical assistants

Verdict: treat as unlawful absent written authority. Indiana does not license or certify medical assistants, so an MA has no scope of their own; everything they do is delegated. That sounds permissive and is not, because the delegation ceiling still applies — a physician cannot delegate acts requiring the physician's own judgment. Cosmetic injection is exactly such an act: it requires assessment of facial anatomy, product and dose selection, and the ability to recognise and manage a vascular occlusion in the first minutes. Our vascular occlusion response guide covers what that recognition window actually demands of the person in the room. Indiana has published nothing endorsing an MA injector model, and SB 282 did not create one.

Laser and energy devices are a separate question

Worth flagging because the answers differ. Indiana's treatment of laser hair removal and energy-based devices is not governed by the same analysis as injection, and SB 282's medical spa chapter does not resolve device scope by role. If your Indiana menu includes laser, IPL, or radiofrequency, treat it as its own research question rather than assuming the injector rules transfer. The state-level detail we hold for Indiana is summarised on our Indiana med spa regulations profile, with primary sources cited.

The Good Faith Exam Under SB 282 — Prescribers Only

Most states make you assemble the good faith exam requirement out of three or four unrelated sources — a prescribing statute here, a nursing position statement there, a board rule about screening criteria somewhere else. Indiana used to be one of them. SB 282 changed that, and this is the provision with the most immediate operational bite.

Who may perform it

A prescriber: a physician (MD or DO), a nurse practitioner, or a physician assistant. A registered nurse may not. The rule is reported consistently across the coverage of the enrolled bill, and it targets precisely the model that dominates aesthetics in states without one — an RN who greets the patient, evaluates them, decides they are a candidate, chooses the product and the units, injects, and files the chart under a physician's protocol signed months earlier.

If that describes your workflow, the fix is structural rather than clerical. Somebody with prescriptive authority must actually evaluate each patient before treatment and issue an order for that patient. Whether they do it in the room, in the building, or by a properly conducted telehealth encounter is a second question. Whether they do it at all is not optional.

What the examination has to contain

SB 282 does not publish an examination template, and the Medical Licensing Board's rulemaking has not filled that in, so the working standard remains the ordinary one for prescribing: an appropriate history, an examination sufficient to support a diagnosis or clinical impression, and a therapeutic plan documented in the chart. In an aesthetics context that means a real medical history — prior neurotoxin exposure and response, neuromuscular disease, pregnancy or breastfeeding status, anticoagulants, prior filler and its location, infection or active skin disease at the site — plus an assessment of the treatment area and a documented plan naming the product, the areas, and the dose range. A pre-visit questionnaire that produces an order without a clinician engaging with it is not an examination; it is a record that none happened.

Telehealth and standing orders

A telehealth evaluation can satisfy the requirement when it meets Indiana's ordinary standard of care for prescribing and is documented like any other clinical encounter. What telehealth cannot do is convert a blanket standing order into an exam. A protocol that pre-approves everyone who books, or a prescriber signing a batch of orders after treatments were already performed, fails on the same ground: no patient-specific evaluation preceded the drug. Screening criteria should read like clinical decision rules — explicit contraindications, explicit escalation instructions — and the consent record should match. Our med spa consent forms guide covers what belongs in the document the patient actually signs.

The Responsible Practitioner: SB 282's New Named Role

Indiana has never required a med spa medical director, because Indiana never had med spas as a legal category. The responsible practitioner is not quite the same thing as the medical director the industry talks about, and the difference matters.

Who qualifies

Every registered medical spa must designate a responsible practitioner. The role is held by a licensed practitioner with prescriptive authority in Indiana — in practice a physician, a nurse practitioner, or a physician assistant. That an NP or PA can hold the role is genuinely significant for Indiana's ownership landscape: it means the accountable clinician need not be a physician, though for an NP or PA the underlying prescriptive authority still runs through a collaborative agreement, so a physician remains in the structure one step back.

"A sufficient amount of time" — the phrase everyone will argue about

The statute requires the responsible practitioner to spend a sufficient amount of time on site. It does not say how much. That is deliberate drafting and it is also the single largest open question in Indiana med spa compliance today. Anyone quoting you a number of hours per week is guessing; the Medical Licensing Board's rules are where it will be settled, and they are not published. What we can say with confidence is the direction of travel: the phrase exists to end the absentee-director arrangement, so a responsible practitioner who has never been in the building is outside the intent regardless of where the number lands.

Third-party medical direction platforms

Many med spas buy medical direction or good faith exam coverage from a national vendor as a turnkey product. Indiana counsel writing on SB 282 have been blunt that these arrangements do not transfer regulatory responsibility away from the medical spa. The registration is the spa's. The responsible practitioner designation is the spa's. If the vendor's prescriber is not doing what the statute requires, the spa is not compliant, and no indemnity clause changes what the board sees in the public database. Diligence the platform the way you would diligence a partner, and read our injectables safety and compliance guide for the operational baseline the platform should be meeting.

Registration, the Public Database, and the January 1, 2027 Deadline

The registration scheme is what makes Indiana structurally different from its neighbours. Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky have no med spa registry; Indiana will have one, and it will be public.

What the application asks for

Registration runs through the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana beginning January 1, 2027. The application is reported to require the spa to identify the prescription drugs it uses, including compounded drugs — a provision that reads very differently once you remember the other half of SB 282 regulates compounding. If you buy compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, or a compounded lidocaine mix from a 503A or 503B source, expect that sourcing to become visible to the board in a way it never has been. Fees, forms, and renewal cycles come from rulemaking that has not been published; verify them with the PLA rather than a secondary source.

Adverse event reporting

A serious adverse event — reported as death, a life-threatening medical event, or a hospitalisation — must be reported to the board within 15 days. Fifteen days is short enough that it cannot be handled ad hoc. Build the reporting trigger into your incident procedure now: who decides an event is reportable, who files, what goes in the internal record, and who is told. A practice that discovers this obligation on day fourteen of a hospitalisation is going to file badly.

Location and advertising

Services may not be provided at locations other than the registered office, with an exception for educational purposes. Home visits, hotel events, and the Botox-party model are the obvious casualties, and the restriction is worth checking against any mobile arm of your business before January. On advertising, the board may act against deceptive or misleading claims and may suspend a registration for them — which puts marketing copy, before-and-after imagery, and staff credential descriptions inside the same enforcement perimeter as clinical practice. Calling an injector a "nurse injector" when they are an esthetician is now a registration risk, not just a truth-in-advertising one.

What Is Unsettled, What Gets Disciplined, and What to Do Before January

An honest Indiana guide has to end with a list of things nobody knows yet, because SB 282 is months old and its rules are not written.

Genuinely unsettled

• What "a sufficient amount of time" on site means for a responsible practitioner. No number exists.
• Registration mechanics — fee, form, renewal period, what documentation must be retained and produced.
• Whether and how the board will inspect registered spas, as opposed to acting on complaints.
• RN and LPN cosmetic injection specifics — Indiana still has no nursing board position statement on it, and SB 282 did not create one.
• How the medical spa definition applies at the edges — a dermatology practice with an aesthetics arm, a wellness clinic doing IV hydration only, a mobile GLP-1 service.

Where a source exists, we have named it above. Where none does, we have said so. That distinction is the whole value of a state guide in a year when a brand-new statute is generating a great deal of confident commentary about provisions that have not been written yet.

What the Medical Licensing Board actually disciplines

Indiana enforcement is complaint-driven, and the complaints that reach a board in aesthetics come from a narrow set of places: a patient with a bad outcome, a former employee, a competitor, or a plaintiff's lawyer working backwards from an injury. What the board finds when it looks is usually not the injection itself. It is the missing evaluation, the delegation to someone whose licence never permitted the act, the collaborative agreement that lapsed two years ago, the physician who cannot show training in the procedure they delegated, and the advertising that describes a credential nobody in the building holds. SB 282 adds a new one: operating a medical spa without a registration after January 1, 2027.

A ninety-day plan

If you own an Indiana med spa, the work between now and January is concrete. Identify who will be your responsible practitioner and confirm they hold prescriptive authority. If that person is an NP or PA, pull their collaborative agreement and check that it is current, that it names the collaborating physician actually in the relationship, and that it covers neurotoxin and filler by name or clear classification. Count PAs per collaborating physician against the four-PA ceiling. Move every good faith exam into prescriber hands and make it a documented encounter. Inventory your prescription drugs and compounded sourcing, since the application will ask. Write the adverse event reporting trigger into your incident protocol. And audit your advertising against who actually holds which licence.

Most of that is documentation you either have or do not, which is why the practices that get through this comfortably are the ones with a protocol library already built. If you are starting from a folder of vendor handouts, our med spa SOP and protocol templates cover injectables, laser, weight loss, hormones, emergencies, and operations, and are built to be adapted to a specific state's delegation and documentation rules rather than replacing them.

This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal or medical advice. Indiana scope-of-practice, delegation, and medical spa rules are administered by several bodies — the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency, the Medical Licensing Board of Indiana, the Indiana State Board of Nursing, the Indiana Board of Pharmacy, and the Indiana State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners — and Senate Bill 282 is new law whose implementing rules had not been published when this was written. Where Indiana's position is genuinely unsettled, we have said so rather than guessed. Confirm current requirements with the relevant board and consult an Indiana healthcare attorney before making staffing or registration decisions.
