Legislative Day
Come to Legislative Day! IBA hosts a Legislative Day at the Indiana Statehouse every year while the Indiana General Assembly is in session. This is a valuable opportunity for members to talk with their state representatives and state senators face-to-face about housing issues.
Legislative Report
Be sure to read the Legislative Report – our weekly e-newsletter sent to members during the legislative session with updates on proposed legislation that impacts the housing industry.
Each report begins with a short video clip that highlights action taken that week and tells you what’s coming next week.
Our final report is a Legislative Session Recap offering a concise overview of significant changes to housing.
Contribute
Indiana Builders PAC, IBA’s political action committee, is an essential part of IBA’s advocacy program. Indiana Builders PAC maximizes political contributions from association members by supporting pro-housing candidates and incumbents for both statewide office and the Indiana General Assembly.
IBA members are asked to contribute $40 annually to Indiana Builders PAC through their local HBA and can join our Donor Club for greater access to briefings with state elected officials and government leaders.
Contribute today to preserve a positive political climate for the home building industry in Indiana.
