State Budget Committee approves agenda, asks DOC to update committee on federal payments for housing detainees
Summary
The committee approved its May 12 agenda unanimously and directed staff to invite the Indiana Department of Correction to the next meeting for a prison census and an update on federal payments for housing detainees; the meeting also listed Miami Correctional Facility reports received under I.C. 11-8-11.
At its May 12, 2026 meeting, the Indiana State Budget Committee approved the published agenda after a motion by Representative Jeffrey Thompson and a second from Representative Gregory Porter. The transcript records that the agenda "passed unanimously," though individual roll-call votes were not recorded.
During the meeting, Representative Gregory Porter asked that the Indiana Department of Correction be invited to the next Budget Committee meeting to provide two items: a census of State prison populations and an update on a federal payment expected for housing detainees. Chairman Ryan Mishler confirmed that Porter requested both the census and the federal payment update; Porter affirmed that clarification.
The meeting packet also lists two Miami Correctional Facility reports filed under I.C. 11-8-11 dated April 27, 2026, which the committee received as part of its materials. Chairman Mishler adjourned the meeting at 4:40 PM.
Action: the transcript records the motion to approve the agenda (moved by Representative Jeffrey Thompson; seconded by Representative Gregory Porter) and the committee’s unanimous approval. The transcript does not record a formal vote or any additional motions on university projects presented at the meeting.
