Indiana will set aside 200 child care vouchers for foster families if the governor signs a bill sent to his desk Monday.

House Bill 1515 specifies that a charter, accredited nonpublic, and traditional public school is allowed as a permitted use in all zoning districts.

A Senate committee advances a bill pressuring nonprofit hospitals to lower costs. Language banning government involvement in “obscene performances” gets added to an unrelated bill. And an expansion of the state’s Lifeline Law heads to the governor.

It allows an Indiana utility to pass along some of the pre-construction costs to their customers — even if the plant never gets finished. So far, none of the ones in the U.S. have.

The Clean Water Indiana Program usually provides matching dollars to help farmers and landowners implement practices like cover cropping and no-till agriculture — to keep the soil from eroding and getting into local waterways.

A previous version of the bill would have allowed a judge or the Indiana Department of Child Services to provide consent to financial institutions.

A bill boosting local prosecutors’ salaries is discussed in the Senate. A House lawmaker proposes an overhaul to the property tax system. And lawmakers want to increase minimum teacher salaries.
