Ind. House Backs Bill for Tougher Day Care Rules

INDIANAPOLIS (AP): Church and home day cares in Indiana that accept taxpayer funding would have to meet new safety regulations under a proposal advancing in the state Legislature.

An Indianapolis Star investigation last year found at least 22 children have died in Indiana day cares since 2009, with 16 of those deaths in unlicensed day cares.
