96 A Message from the ChairwomanKeeping Our Foot on the Gas!
Friends,

The 2024 legislative session concluded last week in what was
another successful session in which Republicans worked together to
deliver for Hoosiers and their families.

This session can also serve
as a reminder that our elections have consequences. This is why we work
hard to elect Republicans in all 92 counties - so that we can continue
prioritizing Hoosier values. While Democrats in D.C. breed dysfunction
with massive deficits and gridlock, Republicans in Indiana deliver
results. This session, our Republican legislators worked to improve our
education system, infrastructure, public safety, and more. While
Democrats in our Nation's Capital continue to fail the American people,
Hoosier Republicans lead!

It is imperative that we stay focused and
keep our foot on the gas! The consequences of the 2024 election will be
HUGE! It is up to us to put in the work to strengthen our county party
organizations and support our candidates so that we can elect Republican
leadership at every level of government.

our success and take back the White House in 2024.

Thank you for all
that you do.

 🌟 Legislative
Session Recap 🏛️
See below for examples of effective Republican
legislation that has been signed into law and will continue to take
Indiana to the Next Level!

Senate Enrolled Act 1: Reading Skills
Sets goal for 3rd grade students to reach 95% reading proficiency by
2027. Mandates schools to identify struggling readers earlier, such as
administering IREAD in second grade. Requires that summer school
reading programs are offered to students not on track for reading
proficiency. Senate Enrolled Act 2: Child care
Provides Hoosiers more
access to quality child care. Expands eligibility for the state’s On My
Way Pre-K Program and state-administered Child Care and Development
Fund (CCDF) vouchers for the employees of licensed child care entities,
providing free or reduced cost child care to members of this critical
workforce who earn up to 85 percent of the state’s median income.
Enables more K-12 public schools to qualify as eligible providers for
the On My Way Pre-K Program. Senate Enrolled Act 5: Lead water line
replacement and lead remediation
Upgrades lead pipes to protect
Hoosiers' health. Enable utility companies with Indiana Utility
Regulatory Commission-approved lead line service replacement plans to
replace lead pipes more quickly and in a more cost-effective . There
are more than 265,000 lead water lines still in use in Indiana. Since
lead pipes are known to cause severe health problems in children and
adults, SEA 5 would enable utility companies to replace them quickly,
efficiently and at a lower cost. House Bill 1001: Education and higher
education matters
Expands the Frank O'Bannon Grant and the 21st
Century Scholarship beyond traditional college coursework to include
job training. Expands options for career scholarships accounts (CSAs)
that pay for students to pursue internships and apprenticeships with
local industries. Extends eligibility for Education Scholarship
Accounts (ESAs) to the siblings of students who have disabilities.
House Bill 1003: Administrative law
Creates a more efficient and
balanced appeals process that is presided over by administrative law
judges. Makes rulings by the Office of Administrative Law Proceeding
final for disputes between agencies and Hoosiers, and would increase
consistency and efficiency in the resolution of these cases. House Bill
1004: Pension matters
Provides a one-time, post-retirement payment
designed to help cover cost-of-living gaps. Retired public employees
like teachers, state excise police, gaming agents, gaming control
officers, conservation officers and state police officers who are a
part of Indiana’s public pension program will receive a 13th check.
