Summary of Legislation: The bill requires the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) to develop a program
to award grants to certain community based programs to reduce the prevalence of maternal mortality in
Indiana. It requires the IDOH to collaborate with the statewide Maternal Mortality Review Committee in
developing the program. The bill provides that the IDOH shall establish workgroups to assist in developing
the program. It allows the IDOH to adopt rules to administer the chapter.
Effective Date: July 1, 2024.
Explanation of State Expenditures: The bill requires the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) and the
Maternal Mortality Review Committee (MMRC) to develop a program to award grants to community based
programs that focus on reducing the prevalence of maternal mortality in Indiana. The IDOH is also required
to develop workgroups to assist in the development of the program, and the bill provides recommendations
for who should be included in the workgroup.
To meet the requirements of the bill, the IDOH would likely need to hire an additional Grant Coordinator.
Based on similar positions within the IDOH, employing a new Grant Coordinator is expected to cost between
$62,000 and $95,000 per year, inclusive of salary and benefits. The IDOH’s Maternal and Child Health
Divison currently has two vacant full-time positions.
