Note to the Press – House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers) released the following statement after Gov. Eric Holcomb issued a formal proclamation today calling for a special session on July 6. Huston said lawmakers plan to take quick action to provide $1 billion in inflation relief to Hoosier taxpayers due to higher-than-expected revenue performance this fiscal year. Each taxpayer would collect about $225 in addition to $125 Hoosiers are receiving from the most recent automatic taxpayer refund. Pending legislative approval, the combined refunds for each eligible Hoosier would total about $350 and a married couple filing jointly would total about $700.
STATEHOUSE (June 22, 2022) – "Our goal is to take action to provide inflation relief to Hoosier taxpayers as our state and nation continue to see the price of gas, and everyday goods and services climb to record heights. The state's strong fiscal health positions us to responsibly use the state's reserves to quickly return money back to taxpayers."
