Summary of Legislation: (Amended) This bill urges the Legislative Council to assign to an appropriate
interim study committee the topic of availability and affordability of child care in Indiana. It requires the
interim study committee to which the topic is assigned to: (1) consider means by which the availability and
affordability of child care services in Indiana can be increased; and (2) not later than November 1, 2022,
submit to the General Assembly a strategic plan for increasing the availability and affordability of child care
services in Indiana.
Effective Date: July 1, 2022.
Explanation of State Expenditures: (Revised) The Legislative Council could assign the topic to an existing
interim study committee or establish a new interim study committee to study this topic during the next
interim. Interim study committees operate on budgets established by the Legislative Council based on
committee size. Legislative Council resolutions in the past have established budgets for interim study
committees in the amount of $13,500 per interim for committees with fewer than 16 members and $17,500
for committees with 16 members or more. If the Legislative Council were to assign this topic to an existing
committee and the committee were to have any extra meetings to address this topic, there would be additional
expenditures for legislator per diem and travel reimbursement for the committee members. Any additional
expenditures must be within the committee’s budget.
It also requires the interim study committee to submit to the General Assembly a strategic plan for increasing
the availability and affordability of child services in Indiana.
