Getting to halfway through the legislative session, Representative Jack Jordan (R-Bremen) said in a recent release, “We recently kicked off the second half of the 2026 legislative session. This is when House bills move to the Senate, and the Senate's bills come over to the House for further review.”
Jordan said the House Republicans passed all four of their priority bills aimed at lowering costs and supporting Hoosier families. This includes tackling housing costs, improving utility and energy affordability, streamlining government, and reducing regulations on K-12 schools.
Additionally, here are some halftime statistics for the bills that passed in the first half of the session:
• 91% of all the bills that passed out of the House did so with bipartisan support;
• 75% of all the bills that passed out of the House did so with fewer than 15 "no" votes; and
• 49% of all the bills that passed out of the House did so unanimously.
Jordan said, “We're committed to working together to make Indiana the best place to live, work, and raise a family.”
In closing, he said, “As we head into the final weeks of the 2026 session, I encourage you to reach out to my office with any questions or comments at in.gov/h17 or 317-232-9772.”
