Indiana HB1219 amends the prekindergarten program to redefine eligibility and expand enrollment.

Indiana HB1219 amends the prekindergarten program to redefine eligibility criteria and expand enrollment. The bill modifies the definition of "eligible child" to include children of child care employees and those with parents or guardians involved in job training or education. It removes the requirement for the office to determine the number of eligible children and instead allows for first-come, first-served enrollment during priority and extended periods.
