The Indiana House has passed a more than $31 billion, two-year budget. The spending plan, which includes more than $400 million in new K-12 education funding, now goes to the Indiana Senate. The budget will be carried in the Senate by Luke Kenley (R-20) and Karen Tallian (D-4).

The proposal includes amendments to Governor Mike Pence's initial plan, which called for a $200 million increase in K-12 funding. The bill would also transfer $200 million each year into the Major Moves 2020 fund for infrastructure projects throughout the state.
