§ 11-10-2-4 — Evaluation; information to consider; utilization of reports or other information; previous evaluations and information

(a) A committed offender shall, within a
reasonable time, be evaluated regarding:
(1) his medical, psychological, educational, vocational, economic
and social condition, and history;
(2) the circumstances surrounding his present commitment;
(3) his history of delinquency; and
(4) any additional relevant matters.
(b) In making the evaluation prescribed in subsection (a), the
department may utilize reports of any precommitment physical or
mental examination or other information or records forwarded by the
committing court or other agency, if that information meets the
department's minimum standards for delinquent offender evaluation.
(c) If a committed offender has undergone, within one (1) year
before the date of his commitment, a previous departmental evaluation
under this section, the department may rely on the previous evaluation
and the information used at that time. However, this subsection does
not deprive an offender of the right to a medical and dental
examination under IC 11-10-3.
