The Indiana Senate on April 22, 2025, handled a series of procedural and ceremonial items, including governor messages, committee reports, a memorial resolution, certification of an engrossed bill, multiple motions to concur on bills, and an adjournment motion.
A clerk read a message from the governor listing several measures that the governor had signed into law. The transcript lists the governor’s message in abbreviated, numeric form; specific bill titles and text were not provided on the floor and are not specified in the transcript.
