For months, Southern Indiana officials have pointed to the potential impacts of a recent tax measure as they made decisions about future spending and operations.
Senate Enrolled Act 1 provides new property tax deductions and credits. It also restructures local income taxes.

State lawmakers who advanced the measure say property owners need relief and that taxing units will still see positive property tax revenue, just a smaller increase than what they expected.
Here’s how the legislation has informed the budget process this year:
