Sec. 7. (a) A zoning ordinance (as defined in IC 36-7-1-22) may not exclude a residential facility for individuals with a mental illness from a residential area solely because the residential facility is a business or because the individuals residing in the residential facility are not related. The residential facility may be required to meet all other zoning requirements, ordinances, and laws.
(b) A zoning ordinance may exclude a residential facility for individuals with a mental illness from a residential area if the residential facility will be located within three thousand (3,000) feet of another residential facility for individuals with a mental illness, as measured between lot lines.
