2024 Bill Tracking Information

The Indiana General Assembly tackled a variety of issues during the 2024 Legislative Session. Lawmakers unveiled their 2024 priority goals and bills the first week of the legislative session, which began on January 8. This year’s session ended on Friday, March 8. Sessions that occur during even-numbered years are typically shorter, since the state holds longer budget-making sessions during odd years. The Indiana General Assembly passed the state’s two-year budget in its previous session, which ran from January 9 to April 28, 2023.
