The 2025 legislative session is here, and Indiana House Republicans have announced the session priorities to protect taxpayers, streamline government, and empower Hoosiers.
In a release, Representative Jack Jordan (R-Bremen) said, “At the top of the priority list is working to pass an honestly balanced, two-year state budget that protects taxpayers while maintaining critical investments in education and infrastructure, which I will co-author.”
House Republicans will also advance efforts to reduce regulations on K-12 schools to increase flexibility and give local communities more control over education decisions (House Bill 1002, Jordan co-authored). Other priority bills include legislation to tackle health care costs (HB 1003 and HB 1004) and to ensure Indiana can meet the needs of today’s energy economy while keeping energy costs low for Hoosiers (HB 1007).
Jordan said, “Additionally, House Republicans will help improve access to housing across our state with (HB 1005) and strengthen public safety by providing additional support for deputy prosecutors (HB 1006).”
He continued, “Our final agenda bill would form a commission to examine redrawing state boundaries, potentially giving the 33 counties in Illinois that have voted to secede from their high-tax state a path to join us in low-tax, low-cost Indiana (HB 1008, which I co-author).
