Daniels set to sign tax law changes

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Gov. Mitch Daniels is ready to sign off on some changes to Indiana's tax laws.


The governor is scheduled Tuesday to sign into law a phase out of the state's inheritance tax.

The plan approved by legislators this month will decrease the inheritance tax in stages beginning next year until it is eliminated after 2021.


Daniels is also approving a requirement that the state hold more money in reserves before the automatic tax refund kicks in.

Included in the measures is also more money for the victims of last summer's deadly state fair stage collapse and some changes to the state's education system.


One of the biggest remaining questions for Daniels is whether he will approve a measure allowing residents to use force when resisting police in some cases.
