Summary of Legislation: 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: 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.
