Operative words
In Indiana, communicable disease laws require individuals, schools, healthcare settings, etc. to comply with disease intervention activities, called control measures, to help stop the spread of disease. Pursuant to IC 16-41-2-1, the Indiana Department of Health is required to publish a list of reportable communicable diseases and their control measures on its website.
Penalty
As stated in the appended law: Ind. Code 16-41-9-1.5 and 410 IAC 1-2.5-79 (Exs. DUT-IN-001, DUT-IN-007)
What it required
The Department states, as the health authority charged with the law's administration, that Indiana's communicable-disease laws 'require' individuals and institutions to comply with the control measures (reporting, contact tracing, isolation of positive cases, quarantine of close contacts) and directs local health departments to 'ensure appropriate protocols are in place.' Character as recorded: agency_position_statement (web page).
