New Laws Going Into Effect on July 1
Many of the new laws passed by the General Assembly in 2026 will go into effect July 1.
Some of these new laws will:
- Protect Indiana’s safety net programs by fighting waste, fraud and abuse within the welfare programs;
- Prevent Indiana residents from paying unnecessary Homeowner’s Association fines; and
- Allow drivers to get their license at age 16, not 16 and 90 days.
During the 2026 legislative session, 90% of bills received bipartisan support on Senate final passage and more than 50% received unanimous support on Senate final passage.
