Revenue forecast has Lt. Gov. Crouch optimistic for
mental health funding
STATEHOUSE (April 19, 2023) ? Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch released the following statement today about the April revenue forecast.?
"In January, I testified in front of the Senate Appropriations Committee on behalf of Senate Bill 1. If passed and fully funded, SB 1 will take the biggest step this state has taken in addressing mental health and addiction issues in Indiana. Today's strong revenue forecast not only re-affirms Indiana's position as a leader in fiscal responsibility, but it should allow the general assembly to properly invest in the quality of life for all Hoosier families. This includes mental health and addiction services, safe and affordable housing and other programs that will greatly improve the lives of Hoosiers."?
