Hall: Legislative session ends with passage of balanced state budget, tax relief and other key priorities for Hoosiers

STATEHOUSE (May 5, 2025) – The 2025 legislative session ended with passage of the state's next two-year budget as well as tax relief and other key priorities for Hoosiers, said State Rep. Dave Hall (R-Norman).

The budget accounts for lowering Indiana's state income tax each of the next two years, which will save taxpayers over $200 million per year. The legislature also advanced major property tax relief and reform legislation this session. Together, these two tax cuts will save Hoosiers $1.3 billion in taxes over the next two years. Key investments were also made in K-12 education and public safety.

"We stayed focused on what matters to our small towns and rural areas, from cutting property taxes and expanding access to housing, to supporting innovation in energy development," Hall said. "I'm proud of what we accomplished this session for our constituents and communities."

All eight of the House Republican priority items advanced to the Governor's desk by the adjournment of session, including:

• House Enrolled Act 1001: Enacting an honestly balanced, two-year state budget that makes government more efficient, strengthens our commitment to education and public safety, and protects taxpayers.
• House Enrolled Act 1002: Reducing regulations on K-12 schools to increase flexibility and give local communities more control over education decisions.

• House Enrolled Act 1003: Lowering health care costs for Hoosiers by improving transparency and predictability in pricing and billing and giving patients more control over their treatment options.
• House Enrolled Act 1004: Ensuring nonprofit hospitals act as nonprofit entities focused on delivering health care.
• House Enrolled Act 1005: Improving access to housing by expanding the Residential Housing Infrastructure Assistance Program (RIF) and streamlining the regulatory process for housing development.
• House Enrolled Act 1006: Strengthening public safety by creating a review board to investigate prosecutors who refuse to enforce our laws.
• House Enrolled Act 1007: Meeting the needs of today's energy economy while reducing costs for Hoosiers.

• House Enrolled Act 1008: Welcoming Illinois counties that have voted to secede from their state to join us in Indiana.
