Senate Republicans unveil their version of Indiana's next two-year budget. House Republicans push through their property tax overhaul. And a committee scales back an anti-DEI measure.

The Senate Republican budget proposal, unveiled Thursday, differs from its House counterpart in three key ways.

House Republicans advance their budget proposal. A controversial immigration bill quickly clears the House chamber. And a ban on transgender women competing in college sports heads to the Senate.

Indiana House Democrats say the state budget should prioritize public education, health care funding, and relief for working-class Hoosiers.

The House Republicans’ state budget proposal includes 2% per year increases in K-12 education funding; hundreds of millions of new dollars for the Department of Child Services and Department of Correction; and no new tax cuts.

The combined state funds for traditional public, charter and private school vouchers as a percentage of the state’s general fund has shrunk in the past 14 years.

Indiana missed its state budget revenue target by more than $200 million in April. But state officials explain away the miss as a timing issue that shouldn't affect the overall state revenue picture.

Indiana tax revenues are ahead of where the state budget needs them to be heading into the final three months of the budget cycle despite collections in March that failed to meet expectations.

Indiana coffers took in about $1.37 billion worth of taxes in November, but remained below expectations for a second straight month this fiscal year, which began in July.

Indianas revenue situation is beginning to normalize after years of major fluctuations due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact.
