Although the 2022 session was off to an early start with both hearings and a slew of bill postings beginning in mid-12月ember,  today is the first official day of session.  According to statute, lawmakers must conclude all business by March 14.  Over the course of the last several weeks caucus leadership gave a preview of several priorities.

众议院共和党人将重点关注:

  • lowering or eliminating certain taxes on small businesses and Hoosier consumers
  • pushing for more “parental transparency” in school curriculum
  • strengthening anti-abortion laws following trends around the country
  • 众议院议长托德·休斯顿说, "We're going to push hard for responsible and prudent tax cuts while maintaining our strong reserves, funding critical services and investing in our future."

参议院共和党人将重点关注:

  • continuing to address healthcare costs in Indiana
  • strengthening economic development tools
  • working to improve Indiana’s education system
  • Senate Appropriations Chairman Ryan Mishler says, "We have the obligation to continue making sustainable spending decisions as we plan for Indiana's future, and I believe those types of discussions will be most appropriate in the context of the next state budget."

参议院民主党人将致力于:

  • ensuring state surplus dollars go toward Hoosiers in need of more affordable child care and the needs of those in rural areas
  • increasing the state’s minimum wage
  • expanding access to Pre-K for three-and four-year-olds
  • 使大麻合法化

While ACI did not ask any legislators to file bills on our behalf this session, we are anticipating several ag issues:

  • COVID-19回应:
    • HB 1001 Administrative authority; COVID-19 immunizations (R-Lehman) would restrict employer COVID-19 vaccine mandates and put in place actions to end the statewide public health emergency order.  HB 1001 would effectively force private employers that mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for employees to allow for any medical or religious exemptions — no questions asked.  It also would put in place administrative actions Gov. Eric Holcomb said were needed to end the statewide public health emergency order that’s been in place since March 2020, including securing continued federal reimbursements for SNAP benefits and Medicaid.  点击这里阅读更多.
  • Office of the Indiana State Chemist:
    • OISC’s proposed legislation would allow for seed lab fees to no longer undercut industry, eliminate separate category of <1lb agricultural seed packages (only 6 are issued annually) and set microorganism rulemaking authority.
  • 基于家庭的供应商:
    • After much negotiation and work over the interim, this issue will return in 2022.
    • 根据现行法律, home based vendors can only sell their products at farmers markets and roadside stands. We are anticipating legislation that will expand sales options.
  • Neither ISDA nor IDEM will bring agency bills this session
  • 其他需要关注的问题:碳, 乙醇税收抵免, 农药禁止, 本地分区控制, BOAH动物票据.

Governor Holcomb’s annual “State of the State” address will be held on Tuesday, 1月uary 11, at 7 p.m.
