Indiana Senate GOP proposes budget with $170M for school vouchers, stricter childcare limits.

Senate Republicans in Indiana have proposed a budget that differs from the House version on school vouchers and childcare limits. The Senate plan keeps current voucher eligibility caps and reduces income limits for childcare assistance, facing criticism from Democrats. The budget includes spending increases for Medicaid, child services, and corrections but does not expand Medicaid access. The proposal still needs Senate approval and will return to the House. A new revenue forecast on April 16 could affect the final budget.
