What we like:

Indiana has legally specified whether or not gift cards escheat to the state

What could be better:

No limits on expiration dates
No maximum post-sale fee or minimum time frame before charging monthly fees
Merchants are not required to give cash back
No legal definition of a gift card or gift certificate
Indiana does not maintain a consumer-centric web page dedicated to gift card laws
