IN SR0006

Urges Indiana's Congressional Delegation to support federal re-authorization of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

Notes that nearly 9 million children nationwide are enrolled in CHIP, which provides matching federal funds to states for low-income children's health insurance coverage.

Cites Indiana's strong program performance: over 100,000 children enrolled with 28.7% enrollment growth over three years, and an uninsured rate of 7.6% (below the national average of 8.5%) for children in households up to 250% of federal poverty line.

Warns that Indiana's CHIP funding would run out by March 2018 without federal re-authorization of the program.

Directs the Senate Secretary to transmit the resolution to Indiana's Congressional Delegation.
