2027 Legislative Session
On January 12, Indiana lawmakers are scheduled to return to the Statehouse for the 2027 legislative session with a brand-new General Assembly. Over the following months, they’ll consider hundreds of proposals that could affect the rights, freedoms, and daily lives of Hoosiers across the state.
The ACLU of Indiana is preparing to track legislation, advocate for policies that protect civil liberties, and challenge proposals that threaten our rights.
As the session approaches, here’s what to know and what we’ll be watching.
2027 Session at a Glance
What’s A Budget Year?
The 2027 session is also a budget year, meaning lawmakers will decide how Indiana spends its money over the next two years.
This includes funding for education, health care, prisons, public services, and other programs Hoosiers rely on. How much money these programs receive can affect the services people can access and how state agencies operate.
We’ll be watching these budget decisions closely, especially where they could affect Hoosiers’ rights and freedoms.
More information on bill tracking, legislative deadlines, and committee assignments coming soon.

Understanding who represents you, what decisions they make, and how to reach them is an important first step in making your voice heard. Learn more.
