As Indiana’s 2021 Legislative session nears completion, following are updates on bills that may have an impact across the West Central Indiana region:
HB1190 – OVERWEIGHT TRUCK PERMITS
This bill was passed out of the Homeland Security and Transportation committee and will now be reviewed by the full Senate. As the home of several large manufacturing facilities, we are particularly interested in the impact this bill could have on economic development in West Central Indiana. Several of our local companies, including representatives from brick and steel, have voiced their support of this legislation and the positive impact it could have on their industry.

HB1381 – COMMERCIAL WIND AND SOLAR STANDARDS AND SITING
After being passed by the House, it was then passed by the House Utilities Committee, then was referred to the Tax and Fiscal Policy committee, where it also passed. Now awaits action by the Senate. We continue to follow the progress of this bill as it is critical to several regional alternative energy projects.
