Complete·3/3/26

Indiana SB0228 amends the definition of a "land use and zoning plan" and establishes criteria for the Midwest continental divide commission.

Indiana SB0228 amends the definition of a "land use and zoning plan" to clarify that it is a plan and not an overlay district. The bill also requires the commission to consider any change or variance in zoning to be consistent with the plan. The commission may petition the legislative body of an eligible county or city to expand the boundaries of the district if certain criteria are met, including encouraging collaboration and development across jurisdictions, enhancing quality of life, and improving tourism.
