2020 Indiana General Assembly Final Report
Indiana General Assembly Report 2020 Legislative Session Final Report The second regular session of the 121st General Assembly ended shortly after midnight Wednesday, March 11th. This was not the constitutional sine die deadline of March 14—that day was reserved for the NCAA Basketball Tournament, which of course didn’t occur, canceled due to the COVID-19 shutdown. But session came to an end without mention of the impending health crisis, instead focusing on the normal drama found in the last days of the Statehouse vacuum. This session was a "short" session, meaning it was not a year the legislature discussed the budget. Instead of budget years’ adjournment in April, session ended in March. The conclusion of session was not without spectacle. As the action inched towards midnight, many do-or-die issues had already been discussed and decided, including the coal bailout bill which passed both houses around the 5 o’clock hour. Many advocates and lobbyists transferred their work from the hallways of the Statehouse to their homes where they could monitor the drama through colleagues, social media and livestreams. Legislation Back in January CAC identified more than 50 bills of interest to track. Of these, 14 were enacted. 903 separate pieces of legislation had been filed including 451 Senate bills and 452 House bills. Broken down that’s: House Bills Introduced: 452 House Bills that moved to the Senate: 114 (25%) Senate Bills Introduced: 451 Senate Bills that moved to the House: 169 (37%) House Bills eligible to become law: 89 (20% of introduced House Bills) Senate Bills eligible to become law: 79 (17% of introduced Senate Bills) Blended percentage of all introduced bills headed to the Governor: 19% Bills vetoed by the Governor: 1 Redistricting We were sure to put redistricting reform on center stage, again, this year since the Coalition, All IN for Democracy, knew it would be a slim chance to see redistricting reform pass in a supermajority whose stronghold depends on gerrymandered districts.

Week #1 ISBA Legislative Update
Dear ISBA Members: I hope this message finds you doing well, staying healthy, and off to a great start in the New Year! With the turn of the calendar year, a new state legislative session has commenced. Here is the Week #1 ISBA Legislative Update. 122nd Indiana General Assembly Underway The first regular session of the 122nd Indiana General Assembly reconvened on Monday. It is the long session that by law must conclude by April 29. The two core duties of legislature this year will be to adopt a new two-year (“biennial”) state budget and to address redistricting of the legislative and congressional districts based on the 2020 decennial census. However, legislative leaders have signified that because of a delay in getting the census data and the desire to wait on the April state revenue forecast, they are willing, if necessary, to postpone the end of session beyond this deadline. That would require the governor to call for a special session. Usually, a special session prompts criticism that business wasn’t concluded in a timely fashion, but in this instance waiting to ensure the best available information to make sound decisions appears warranted and prudent in response to the pandemic. House Republican Caucus Priorities The House Republican Caucus, which maintains a super majority control of the House, released its 2021 legislative priorities that can be viewed HERE. ISBA supports HB 1003 (see further bill details below) and likely to support HB 1008 (once we can view the bill and determine its content), but HB 1005 will be the bitter pill to swallow as it calls for expanded school choice.

[Pfizer PAC & Corporate Political Contributions Report January 2009
1 [ Pfizer PAC & Corporate Political Contributions Report January 2009 – June 2010] Pfizer PAC – Our Voice. Our Impact. A Message from Sally Susman, Chair, Pfizer PAC I am pleased to share our 2009-2010 political contributions report, which includes a list of candidates and political committees that the Pfizer PAC supported from January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. The Pfizer PAC is bipartisan; we contribute to candidates of both political parties. From January 2009 through June 2010, we have been able to support 1,436 candidates at all levels of government, and we remain the #1 pharmaceutical industry PAC. I hope you will take time to review the report to see which candidates the PAC supported in your state and community. 2 As we started 2010, healthcare reform legislation was being debated in Congress. We had several public policy priorities that we actively engaged in as the debate unfolded, including: making certain that price controls and importation were not included in the new healthcare law, and that we secure twelve years of data exclusivity for innovator biologics. As a result, many of our business priorities were attained and the new law ultimately helps us to continue to provide our innovative medicines to the patients we serve. As Pfizer’s PAC Chair and through my interactions with elected officials, I see first-hand how decisions are made that impact our ability to discover and bring to market innovative medicines that help the patients we serve. The Pfizer PAC supports candidates who are committed to maintaining and improving incentives for innovation and protecting and expanding access for the patients we serve.
