Indiana geography on the adoption-assistance tag

IN is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, or other in-state sites can share the tag. Awards coded to Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, or Michigan stay outside $489,203,225.56 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $489.20 million into a courthouse map.
