Specifies that the Act does not limit or replace certain reporting requirements of a health care entity. Provides that not later than one day after filing a pre-merger notification under the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, a person shall file a complete electronic copy of the form required under that act with the attorney general if: (1) the person's principal place of business is in Indiana; or (2) the person conducts a specified level of sales in Indiana with respect to the goods or services involved in the proposed merger transaction. Requires the attorney general to provide a secure means to receive and store materials submitted. Provides that: (1) a form or additional documentary material under the federal act; and (2) other specified information related to the proposed merger transaction; are confidential for purposes of Indiana's public records act and may not be disclosed or made public by the attorney general.

Authorizes the attorney general to: (1) share information with; and (2) disclose a form or additional documentary material under the federal act to; the attorney general of another state that has enacted the Uniform Antitrust Pre-Merger Notification Act or a substantively equivalent act. Requires the attorney general to receive assurance from the attorney general of another state that information shared with the other state will remain confidential.
