Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

6 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

More funds for child care vouchers

The state can use a 2025 budget fund to boost Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) vouchers. This can help families with vouchers pay less for child care. The Budget Agency uses this money with budget committee review. This authority runs from July 1, 2025 through July 1, 2027.

Mental health services limited to home counties

Certified community mental health centers may provide services only inside their assigned county or counties. The Division of Mental Health and Addiction can allow school‑based services outside that area. This rule starts July 1, 2028.

Stronger review for costly state rules

Beginning July 1, 2026, if a proposed rule costs $500,000 or more over any two years, it cannot be published until the budget committee reviews it. This lowers the trigger from $1,000,000. Emergency, federally required, and certain code‑update interim rules are exempt. The change applies to rulemakings that start after June 30, 2026. The applicability rule ends July 1, 2028.

Education help for Pokagon Band citizens

The law creates the Pokagon Indiana Education Fund for Band citizens. The fund pays direct costs, like tuition and on‑campus room and board, straight to Indiana public colleges or approved workforce programs. You must be enrolled in the Pokagon Band before getting help and meet the school or program’s admission rules. Priority goes to Band citizens who are legal Indiana residents when they apply. The funding continues as long as the Band makes required payments to the state.

Fast fiscal notes on governor orders

The Legislative Services Agency must write a fiscal impact note for every governor executive order under IC 10‑14‑3. It must deliver the note to the legislative council and the budget committee within 7 days. This gives lawmakers quick cost information on emergency orders.

Annual reporting on mental health centers

Beginning July 1, 2028, certified community mental health centers must file an annual report. They must send it to the state division and to each county’s fiscal body and commissioners in their service area. Reports include audits, patient counts by county, demographics, clinical encounters, intake counts, wait times, and performance measures. The Division sets the report format and measures, includes a statewide summary in its own annual report, and can meet county distribution by posting the report online.
