Indiana HB1026 allocates funds from the financial responsibility and opportunity growth fund to the Child Care and Development Fund voucher program.

Indiana HB1026 amends the appropriation from the financial responsibility and opportunity growth fund for the state budget biennium in HEA 1001-2025. It mandates that the total amount appropriated from the fund be used exclusively for funding the Child Care and Development Fund voucher program and On My Way Pre-K programmatic funding. This change repeals the previous uses of the fund for augmenting state correctional facilities operations, Medicaid assistance, and the family and children fund. The bill is effective July 1, 2025, and expires on July 1, 2027.
