Chamber Passed·1/27/26

Indiana SB0008 amends library budget procedures, requiring city, town, or county fiscal bodies to review and adopt final budgets and property tax.

Indiana SB0008 modifies the process for budgeting and levying property taxes for public libraries. It mandates that the fiscal body of a city, town, or county review and adopt the final budget and property tax levy for public libraries whose governing bodies are not comprised of a majority of elected officials. The fiscal body can reduce or modify but not increase the proposed budget or tax levy. The bill also repeals certain provisions related to public library budget reviews and makes technical corrections.
