Indiana House

A bill pitched as a fix for Indiana’s troubled Pathways Medicaid program drew emotional testimony — and triggered pointed exchanges — as discussions around long-term care continued Thursday in the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Indiana House Republicans released a new congressional map that would divide the state's two Democratic congressional districts. The bill was discussed in committee as lawmakers went back and forth over whether the new map was fair.

Minutes after the Indiana House confirmed it will return to the Statehouse next week to redistrict, Senate Republicans reversed course and will show up Dec. 8 to “make a final decision on any redistricting proposal sent from the House.”

Lawmakers discussed redistricting during Tuesday's Organization Day, but ultimately defied Trump's order to pass new maps.

The Indiana House and Senate appear headed for the status quo after this year’s election results, with Republicans maintaining supermajorities in both chambers.

What role does the Indiana Senate president pro tempore serve? It's a question a member of our audience recently asked.
