Contract Type FiledOctober 29th, 2012A new law adopted during the 2003 legislative session creates a Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement. This new law, which went into effect on May 7, 2003, automatically makes each unit of government (county, city, town and township) in Indiana part of this new Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement. If a county, city, town or township does not want to be part of this Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement, they do have the ability to opt out of the Agreement, but opting out may make the unit of government ineligible to receive certain future state or federal funding. This Agreement does not effect existing or future mutual aid and interlocal agreements between local fire departments or law enforcement agencies.
