Lawmakers overwhelmingly approve a $37 billion state budget. Unemployment benefits will be taxed. And a ban on vaccine passports.
Here’s what you might have missed this week at the Statehouse.
Indiana’s legislative session came to an end Thursday, though lawmakers expect to return in the fall for redistricting.
The new, two-year state budget was bolstered by billions of dollars in the session’s final days, both with federal COVID-19 relief money and increased state revenues. That led to an unprecedented increase for K-12 education funding and long-awaited provisions meant to raise teacher pay. Across 150 lawmakers, only five voted against the budget, support not seen in recent memory.
