2025 Statehouse Report

The 2025 Legislative Session, shaped by newly elected Governor Mike Braun’s priorities, including property tax reform, health care costs, road funding, and school choice, resulted in the passage of the state’s biennial budget. Unlike previous sessions marked by strong revenue growth, this year’s budget required significant cuts and a reprioritization of state spending.

The 2025 Statehouse Report outlines new laws that impact municipalities, with most taking effect on July 1, 2025. Each bill is listed in numerical order and includes relevant policy area tags to help you quickly identify the topic(s) it addresses. An appendix groups bills by policy area for additional ease of use. To view the legislation showing the effective dates, click on the link with the bill number and title. This will take you to information for that bill on the Indiana General Assembly’s website.

Mini Quick Guide: Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Transparency

Attraction of new businesses, the retention or expansion of existing industries, and the necessity of creating and maintaining a quality place where people want to plant roots and thrive are just a few key challenges facing municipal officials. To support these efforts, the General Assembly has provided a variety of mechanisms to enable cities and towns to maintain and revitalize their communities. One of those tools is TIF. A common misconception of TIF is that it lacks transparency. This couldn’t be further from the truth. The Indiana General Assembly has instituted many reporting requirements, public meetings, neutralization measures, and termination dates that make TIF a remarkably transparent municipal finance and talent attraction option. This Aim Mini Quick Guide highlights these transparency measures.
