Indiana's major property tax reform is already changing as lawmakers made tweaks on the final night of the legislative session.

Lawmakers finish the 2025 session with a state budget that covers a massive revenue shortfall. A measure meant to address high health care costs goes to the governor. And school board races will turn partisan under a narrowly-approved bill.

The two top priority bills this legislative session will have huge impacts on the financial futures of state and local governments, and many Indiana residents.

Following a series of internal investigations into the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, the Braun administration is launching a forensic audit. Secretary of Commerce David Adams said there are enough questions that a "comprehensive look" is necessary.

A bill to let utilities bypass some local laws to build new power plants on the site of old ones barely made it to the governor's desk. Debates over local control are likely what led the bill to pass through the House on Thursday by only one vote.

A significantly scaled-back bill that aims to ban diversity, equity and inclusion practices in state government and public education is headed to the governor's desk.

Republican leaders plan to make up a $2 billion budget revenue shortfall by raising the cigarette tax, cutting public health and higher education funding, and spending down reserves.

A bill that could keep coal plants online and give tax incentives to small modular nuclear reactors is headed to the governor's desk. Some lawmakers question whether Hoosiers should pay for those incentives with a $2 billion shortfall in the state budget.

Debate continues over whether to make it illegal to sleep on public property, in the final days of the state legislative session.

April 22 is Earth Day and a majority of people around the world want their governments to address climate change. The Hoosier State isn't any different.
