The bill, once fully implemented, is estimated to cut as much as $165 million in state revenue each year.
Indiana is the only state that does not exempt direct descendants' children and grandchildren from paying the inheritance tax. Indiana's neighboring states, Michigan and Ohio, do not have inheritance taxes and Kentucky does not tax on transfers to children.

HEA 1003 gives the Indiana Commission on Public Records the power to define electronic records and set retention schedules for other types of records.
