This bill would provide public charter schools in Indiana access to local property tax dollars, creating funding that is on par with district-run public schools.
On Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2025, the Senate’s Tax & Fiscal Policy Committee passed SB 518, voting 10-4 to move the legislation forward.
ICIC will continue to champion this legislation, which would be game-changing for Indiana's charter schools and students.
The Senate will take up the bill for a second reading where it may be further amended by early next week (Feb. 17 week). If approved by the Senate, the bill will move to a House committee to be heard during the second half of session.
