The Indiana General Assembly is considering Senate Bill 1, which aims to provide property tax relief to specific groups, including older Hoosiers, disabled veterans, and first-time homebuyers. While the bill's current version offers $1.4 billion in relief over three years, it has raised concerns among local government leaders about potential budget shortfalls. Governor Mike Braun's initial proposal suggested more extensive relief, but it faced criticism for potentially costing local governments and schools billions annually.

Indiana has introduced legislation requiring large energy users, such as data centers, to cover 80% of power costs if they seek expedited regulatory approval. Additionally, a new law permits utilities to pass exploration costs for untested energy sources, like small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs), onto consumers—even if the projects don't materialize. Consumer advocates express concerns about potential increases in residents' energy bills.

A bill limiting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in schools, state government, and health profession licensing advanced to the governor after passing both legislative chambers. Additionally, Indiana extended its ban on transgender girls in K-12 sports to include colleges.
