2026 Statehouse Report

The 2026 legislative session started early at the beginning of December, 2025, when the General Assembly considered mid-cycle redistricting of Indiana’s congressional districts. Despite a contentious debate over redistricting, significant legislation moved forward. Legislation focused on housing affordability, welfare and Medicaid reform, energy affordability, and clean-up work from the property and local income tax rewrite from SEA 1 in 2025.

The 2026 Statehouse Report outlines new laws that impact municipalities, with most taking effect on July 1, 2026. Bills are grouped by policy area and then organized numerically. Each bill includes the author, sponsor, a brief list of the bill’s provisions, and any additional comments from our legislative team. To see more details about the legislation, including its effective dates, click on the link with the bill number and title.
