Republicans in the Indiana statehouse have proposed legislation that would redraw the state border with Illinois and annex some southern counties to the Hoosier State.

According to Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston, more than 30 counties in Illinois have voted to secede since 2020 due to the state’s high taxes. Indiana House Republicans included the bill on a list of their top priorities for the 2025 session.
