Republicans Call 2021 Legislative Session Transformational; Democrats Praise Progress

Credit Brandon Smith / IPB News Republicans called the 2021 legislative session “transformational.” Democrats were not quite so effusive with their praise. But everyone agrees it was a session no one will likely forget, impacted in every way by the COVID-19 pandemic. House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers) lamented the lack of connection among lawmakers this year, driven by the pandemic. But he said COVID-19 also brought positive change. “Really forced communication among members on their bills to be far better, Huston said. And I think the challenge for Sen. [Rodric] Bray and I moving forward is, how do you sustain that?” The session ended on a note of bipartisanship, with almost every Democrat joining Republicans to vote for the new state budget.

Code red: Indiana Republican legislators move to gain more control over governor

First published April 23, 2021 inÂ TheStatehouseFile.com Current and former state legislators and a former Indiana Supreme Court justice are raising concerns that a bill to extend rather than adjourn the 2021 session blurs the separation of powers and could have “dangerous” implications for the future. The Indiana General Assembly passed House Bill 1372 late in the session with little discussion or opposition, extending the legislative session until Nov. 15. The coronavirus pandemic postponed 2020 census results and the change was necessary in order to vote on election redistricting in the fall, proponents say. Now some worry the unusual move could set a precedent for a full-time legislature, and others wonder about lawmakers fundraising while technically still in session, which is typically not allowed.

Legislative Session Wasn t COVID-Free, but Lawmakers Avoided a Major Outbreak

(INDIANAPOLIS) One notable story from this year’s legislative session was what didn’t happen: a COVID outbreak. Senate Minority Leader Greg Taylor (D-Indianapolis) acknowledges feeling “scared” at the start of the session that the virus would rip through the House and Senate, with 150 legislators from across the state working closely for four months. And House Speaker Todd Huston (R-Fishers), who had his own bout with COVID-19 before the start of the sssion says for the first couple of months, the legislature had a member or staffer sidelined just about every day, either by infection or to quarantine after exposure.

What an extra $2 billion investment in Indiana s K-12 schools could mean

Indiana teachers may finally get that raise. With an extra $2 billion to spend over the next two years due to a rosy April revenue forecast, Indiana lawmakers announced Tuesday they would invest half of that into increasing funding for K-12 schools. The influx of cash allowed them to fulfill a promise made two years ago to address the stateâs teacher pay shortage. The state also benefited from the federal stimulus package signed by President Biden. The $37.4 billion two-year budget compromise, struck between Gov. Eric Holcomb and leaders of the Indiana General Assembly, will fund the $600 million down payment that a state commission found was needed to make teacher pay in Indiana competitive.
