STATEHOUSE (March 12, 2020) – “We successfully brought the legislative session to a close after taking our priorities across the finish line, including supporting our educators and schools, and taking important steps to address rising health care costs.
"Building off our state's historic education investment last year, we were able to decouple student test scores from teacher evaluations, and ensure schools and educators will not be negatively impacted by ILEARN scores during the two-year transition period.
"Our action on health care will allow patients to request good-faith estimates on their medical bills upfront, so they can make more informed decisions and shop around for better prices. We also protect consumers from receiving unexpected, out-of-network medical bills that can unfairly crush family budgets. I fully expect discussions on health care costs to continue, and we are committed to keeping all options on the table as we move forward to help lower costs for Hoosier patients."
