On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (Public Law 117-58) was signed into law, providing $550 billion in new federal infrastructure funds through 2026. The investment provides opportunities for development of transportation, power, and water infrastructure. The bipartisan infrastructure law will support the U.S. economy at federal, state, and local levels by leveraging the investments by state and local governments to expand clean water initiatives, internet access, transportation options and safety, environmental sustainability, and economic development across the country. 

Ice Miller Public Affairs Group team members are actively engaged in the Indiana General Assembly and with legislators on behalf of clients. We recently learned that Governor Holcomb and legislative leaders have agreed in principle to a special session to take place sometime before the end of June. The agenda will be to combat inflation by returning monies from state reserves to citizens. No word so far on whether other topics could be included in the special session.
