Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a proclamation calling a special session of the General Assembly beginning July 6 to take action on his plan to distribute $1 billion in tax relief to Hoosiers due to inflation.

The special session also would open the door for lawmakers to pass legislation addressing other issues.

Special sessions may last up to 30 session days, but no more than 40 calendar days after they begin.

The ban on contributions during session does not apply to special sessions in Indiana.
