Nothing in this subsection creates a debt or liability of the state to make any appropriation.

(b) All amounts received on account of money appropriated by the state to any reserve fund shall be held and applied in accordance with section 1(b) of this chapter. However, at the end of each fiscal year, if the amount in any reserve fund exceeds the required debt service reserve, any amount representing earnings or income received on account of any money appropriated to the reserve fund that exceeds the expenses of the bank for that fiscal year may be transferred to the general fund of the state.

(c) Notwithstanding any other law, and except as provided by subsection (d), after June 30, 2005, the:

is subject to the conditions set forth in subsection (e) and review by the budget committee and approval by the budget director as required by subsection (f).

(d) If the budget committee does not conduct a review of a proposed transaction under subsection (c) within twenty-one (21) days after a request by the bank, the review is considered to have been conducted. If the budget director does not approve or disapprove a proposed transaction under subsection (c) within twenty-one (21) days after a request by the bank, the transaction is considered to have been approved.

(e) Issuance by the bank of any indebtedness that establishes a reserve fund under subsection (a), the establishment of a procedure for certification, or the execution by the bank of any other agreement that creates a reserve fund subject to subsection (a) may be extended only for a project or a purpose that:

(1) can be financed by a qualified entity under the law applying to financing by the qualified entity; or

(2) is specifically authorized by the general assembly.

A reserve fund established under subsection (a) may be used only to finance the purchase of securities (as defined in IC 5-1.5-1-10) issued by entities described in IC 5-1.5-1-8.

(5) A qualified entity seeking the benefit of a reserve fund established under subsection (a) agrees to include a provision in the instrument governing the qualified entity's duties with respect to the security (as defined in IC 5-1.5-1-10) that the qualified entity will pledge sufficient property taxes, user fees, hook up fees, connection fees, or any other available local revenues or any combination of those revenues that will be sufficient to satisfy any shortfall in the reserve fund established under subsection (a) before subsection (a) is to be applied.

(6) A qualified entity seeking the benefit of a reserve fund established under subsection (a) agrees to include a provision in the instrument governing the qualified entity's duties with respect to the security (as defined in IC 5-1.5-1-10) requiring that the qualified entity establish and maintain its own separate reserve fund or account under the governing instrument, in an amount to be determined by the budget director, upon the recommendation of the bank, in order to provide an additional margin of security for the security before subsection (a) is to be applied.

(g) Notwithstanding any other law, if any amounts are appropriated by the general assembly and transferred to the bank for deposit in a reserve fund under subsection (a) as a result of a default by a qualified entity on its security, to the extent that any department or agency of the state, including the treasurer of state, is the custodian of money payable to such qualified entity (other than for goods or services provided by the qualified entity), at any time after written notice to the department or agency head from the bank that the qualified entity is in default on the payment of principal of or interest on the securities of the qualified entity then held or owned by or arising from an agreement with the bank, the applicable department or agency shall recover any amounts appropriated by the general assembly for deposit in a reserve fund under subsection (a) by:

(1) making deductions and withholding from any future amounts that would otherwise be available for distribution to the qualified entity under any other law, until an amount equal to the appropriation has been deducted and withheld; and

(2) transferring any amounts so deducted and withheld from time to time to the treasurer of state for the purpose of allowing the treasurer of state to reimburse the fund or account of the state from which the appropriation was made.

A deduction under this subsection must be made, first, from local income tax distributions under IC 6-3.6-9, and, second, from any other undistributed funds of the qualified entity in the possession of the state. However, the deduction and withholding of payment from a qualified entity and reimbursement to the fund or account of the state from which the appropriation was made under this section must not adversely affect the validity of the security in default.

(h) If the bank proposes that a reserve fund be established under subsection (a) for a project or purpose, the bank shall provide to the budget committee and the budget agency at or before the time of the bank's request, the following information in writing:

(1) A description of the project or purpose.

(2) How the project or purpose satisfies the requirements of subsection (e).

(3) The qualified entity's application for financing that was filed with the bank.

(4) The estimated relative savings that can be achieved by establishing a reserve fund under subsection (a).

(5) The finding required by subsection (f)(3) and proposed language for those instrument provisions required by subsection (f)(4) through (f)(6), if applicable.

(6) Any other information required by the budget committee or budget agency.

General assembly findings
Status: in_force

Sec. 0.3. The general assembly finds the following:

(1) Northwest Indiana as a region and the city face unique and distinct challenges and opportunities related to the economic development issues associated with the construction and maintenance of a world-class stadium facility in the city.

(2) A unique approach is required to ensure that northwest Indiana has sufficient revenue sources to allow it to meet these challenges and opportunities.

(3) The powers and responsibilities provided to northwest Indiana and to the northwest Indiana stadium authority created by this chapter are appropriate and necessary to carry out the public purposes of encouraging and fostering economic development in northwest Indiana and constructing a world-class stadium facility in the city.

(4) The relocation of a National Football League franchised professional football team in northwest Indiana poses unique challenges due to the need for development of a world-class football stadium and related infrastructure that would not be needed apart from the needs related to the relocation of a National Football League franchised professional football team in the city.

(5) The relocation of a National Football League franchised professional football team in the city is critical to successful economic development in the city and northwest Indiana and is a public purpose.

(6) Encouragement of economic development in northwest Indiana will:

(A) provide significant economic activity, a substantial portion of which results from persons residing outside Indiana, which may attract new businesses and encourage existing businesses to remain or expand in the city and northwest Indiana;

(B) promote the city and northwest Indiana to residents outside Indiana, which may attract residents outside Indiana and new businesses to relocate to the city and northwest Indiana area;

(C) protect and increase state and local tax revenues; and

(D) encourage overall economic growth in northwest Indiana and in Indiana.

(7) Northwest Indiana faces unique challenges in the development of infrastructure and other facilities necessary to promote economic development:

(A) as a result of its need to rely on sources of revenue other than property taxes;

(B) due to the large number of tax exempt properties located in northwest Indiana; and

(C) because northwest Indiana is the site of numerous state and regional nonprofit corporations.

(8) Economic development benefits the health and welfare of the people of Indiana, is a public use and purpose for which public money may be spent, and is of public utility and benefit.

Retirement benefit payment options; changes to beneficiary designation or form of benefit; annual payment of monthly benefit
Status: in_force

Sec. 7. (a) Benefits provided under this section are subject to IC 5-10.2-2-1.5.

(b) A member who retires is entitled to receive monthly retirement benefits, which are guaranteed for five (5) years or until the member's death, whichever is later. A member may select in writing any of the following nonconflicting options for the payment of the member's retirement benefits instead of the five (5) year guaranteed retirement benefit payments. The amount of the optional payments shall be determined under rules of the board and shall be the actuarial equivalent of the benefit payable under sections 4, 5, and 6 of this chapter. A member who has elected to withdraw the entire amount in the member's annuity savings account under IC 5-10.2-3-6.5 may not select the cash refund annuity option.

(1) Joint and Survivor Option.

(A) The member receives a decreased retirement benefit during the member's lifetime, and there is a benefit payable after the member's death to a designated beneficiary during the lifetime of the beneficiary, which benefit equals, at the option of the member, either the full decreased retirement benefit or two-thirds (2/3) or one-half (1/2) of that benefit.

(B) If the member dies before retirement, the designated beneficiary may receive only the amount credited to the member in the annuity savings account unless the designated beneficiary is entitled to survivor benefits under IC 5-10.2-3.

(C) If the designated beneficiary dies before the member retires, the selection is automatically canceled and the member may make a new beneficiary election and may elect a different form of benefit under this subsection.

(2) Benefit with No Guarantee. The member receives an increased lifetime retirement benefit without the five (5) year guarantee specified in this subsection.

(3) Integration with Social Security. If the member retires before the age of eligibility for Social Security benefits, in order to provide a level benefit during the member's retirement the member receives an increased retirement benefit until the age of Social Security eligibility and decreased retirement benefits after that age.

(4) Cash Refund Annuity. The member receives a lifetime annuity purchasable by all or part of the amount credited to the member in the annuity savings account, and the member's designated beneficiary receives a refund payment equal to:

(A) the total amount used in computing the annuity; minus

(B) the total annuity payments paid and due to the member before the member's death.

(c) This subsection does not apply to a member of the Indiana state teachers' retirement fund after June 30, 2007, or to a member of the public employees' retirement fund after June 30, 2008. If:

(1) the designated beneficiary dies while the member is receiving benefits; or

(2) the member is receiving benefits, the member marries, either for the first time or following the death of the member's spouse, after the member's first benefit payment is made, and the member's designated beneficiary is not the member's current spouse or the member has not designated a beneficiary;

the member may elect to change the member's designated beneficiary or form of benefit under subsection (b) and to receive an actuarially adjusted and recalculated benefit for the remainder of the member's life or for the remainder of the member's life and the life of the newly designated beneficiary. The member may not elect to change to a five (5) year guaranteed form of benefit. If the member's new election is the joint and survivor option, the member shall indicate whether the designated beneficiary's benefit shall equal, at the option of the member, either the member's full recalculated retirement benefit or two-thirds (2/3) or one-half (1/2) of this benefit. The cost of recalculating the benefit shall be borne by the member and shall be included in the actuarial adjustment.

(d) Except as provided in subsection (c) or section 7.2 of this chapter, a member who files for regular or disability retirement may not change:

(1) the member's retirement option under subsection (b);

(2) the selection of a lump sum payment under section 2 of this chapter; or

(3) the beneficiary designated on the member's application for benefits if the member selects the joint and survivor option under subsection (b)(1);

after the first day of the month in which benefit payments are scheduled to begin. For purposes of this subsection, it is immaterial whether a benefit check has been sent, received, or negotiated.

(e) A member may direct that the member's retirement benefits be paid to a revocable trust that permits the member unrestricted access to the amounts held in the revocable trust. The member's direction is not an assignment or transfer of benefits under IC 5-10.3-8-10 or IC 5-10.4-5-14.5.

(f) The board may adopt a policy to permit annual payment of a member's retirement benefit whenever the amount of the monthly retirement benefit to be paid to the member is not more than five dollars ($5).

(g) The board may provide an alternative option for the payment of the member's retirement benefits that does not include the minimum benefit option under IC 5-10.2-3-9.

(a) Except as provided in section 8 of this chapter, a member may be given credit for leaves of absence for study, professional improvement, and temporary disability if the leave credit does not exceed one-seventh (1/7) of the total years of service claimed for retirement (referred to as the one-seventh rule). A member granted a leave in these instances for exchange teaching and for other educational employment approved individually by the board is considered a teacher and is entitled to the benefits of the fund if for or during the leave the member pays into the fund the member's contributions. A leave for other educational employment is not subject to the one-seventh rule.

(b) In each case of a teacher requesting a leave of absence to work in a federally supported educational project, the board must determine that the project is educational in nature and serves state citizens who might otherwise be served by the public schools or state educational institutions. The board shall make this determination for a one (1) year period, which is later subject to review and reapproval.

(c) Subject to this chapter, leaves of absence specified in IC 20-28-10-1, IC 20-28-10-2, IC 20-28-10-3, or IC 20-28-10-4 and adoption leave of not more than one (1) year must be credited to retirement.

(d) Notwithstanding any law, this section must be administered in a manner consistent with the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (29 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). A member on a leave of absence that qualifies for the benefits and protections afforded by the Family and Medical Leave Act is entitled to receive credit for vesting and eligibility purposes to the extent required by the Family and Medical Leave Act but is not entitled to receive credit for service for benefit purposes unless the leave is described in subsection (a), (b), or (c).

Responsibilities of inspector general or attorney general as intervenors in civil action; venue; complainant as party; dismissal; limitations on complainant's participation; alternative proceedings
Status: in_force

Sec. 5. (a) If the attorney general or the inspector general intervenes in an action under section 4 of this chapter, the attorney general or the inspector general is responsible for prosecuting the action and is not bound by an act of the person who initially filed the complaint. The attorney general or the inspector general may move for a change of venue to Marion County if the attorney general or the inspector general files a motion for change of venue not later than ten (10) days after the attorney general or the inspector general intervenes. Except as provided in this section, the person who initially filed the complaint may continue as a party to the action.

(b) The attorney general or the inspector general may dismiss the action after:

(1) notifying the person who initially filed the complaint; and

(2) the court has conducted a hearing at which the person who initially filed the complaint was provided the opportunity to be heard on the motion.

(c) The attorney general or the inspector general may settle the action if a court determines, after a hearing, that the proposed settlement is fair, adequate, and reasonable in light of the circumstances. Upon a showing of good cause, the court may:

(1) conduct the settlement hearing in camera; or

(2) lift all or part of the seal to facilitate the investigative process or settlement.

The court may consider an objection to the settlement brought by the person who initially filed the complaint, but is not bound by this objection.

(d) Upon a showing by the attorney general, the inspector general, or the defendant that unrestricted participation by the person who initially filed the complaint:

(1) will interfere with the prosecution of the case by the attorney general or the inspector general; or

(2) will involve the presentation of repetitious or irrelevant evidence, or evidence introduced for purposes of harassment;

the court may impose reasonable limitations on the person's participation, including a limit on the number of witnesses that the person may call, a limit to the amount and type of evidence that the person may introduce, a limit to the length of testimony that the person's witness may present, and a limit to the person's cross-examination of a witness.

(e) If the attorney general or the inspector general elects not to intervene in the action, the person who initially filed the complaint has the right to prosecute the action. Upon request, the attorney general or the inspector general shall be served with copies of all documents filed in the action and may obtain a copy of depositions and other transcripts at the state's expense.

(f) If the attorney general and the inspector general have elected not to intervene in an action in accordance with section 4 of this chapter, upon a showing of good cause, a court may permit either the attorney general or the inspector general to intervene at a later time. The attorney general may move to intervene at any time. If the attorney general has not moved to intervene, the inspector general may move to intervene by providing written notice to the attorney general of the inspector general's intent to intervene. If the attorney general does not move to intervene earlier than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the notice of intent to intervene, the inspector general may move to intervene. If the attorney general or the inspector general intervenes under this subsection, the attorney general or the inspector general is responsible for prosecuting the action as if the attorney general or the inspector general had intervened in accordance with section 4 of this chapter.

(g) If the attorney general or inspector general shows that a specific discovery action by the person who initially filed the complaint will interfere with the investigation or prosecution of a civil or criminal matter arising out of the same facts, the court may, following a hearing in camera, stay discovery for not more than sixty (60) days. After the court has granted a sixty (60) day stay, the court may extend the stay, following a hearing in camera, if it determines that the state has pursued the civil or criminal investigation with reasonable diligence and that a specific discovery action by the person who initially filed the complaint will interfere with the state's investigation or prosecution of the civil or criminal matter.

(h) A court may dismiss an action brought under this chapter to permit the attorney general or the inspector general to pursue its claim through an alternative proceeding, including an administrative proceeding or a proceeding brought in another jurisdiction. The person who initially filed the complaint has the same rights in the alternative proceedings as the person would have had in the original proceedings. A finding of fact or conclusion of law made in the alternative proceeding is binding on all parties to an action under this section once the determination made in the alternative proceeding is final under the rules, regulations, statutes, or law governing the alternative proceeding, or if the time for seeking an appeal or review of the determination made in the alternative proceeding has elapsed.

(b) Whenever refunding bonds are to be authorized and issued under this chapter for the purpose of refinancing and improving any municipally owned public utility (other than a sewage treatment works or a municipally owned public utility originally constructed pursuant to IC 8-1-2) the issuing body desiring to issue such refunding bonds shall file its petition in the office of the utility regulatory commission setting forth the facts showing the necessity for refinancing and improving such municipally owned utility and praying for the approval thereof by said commission. The petitioner shall give notice of the filing of such petition and hearing thereon to the citizens and taxpayers of said issuing body by publication once each week for two (2) weeks prior to such hearing in a newspaper published in such issuing body, or in case no newspaper is there published, then in a newspaper published in the county in which such issuing body is situated, and if there be no newspaper published in such county, notice shall be posted for fifteen (15) days in three (3) public places therein. On the hearing of such petition, if it appears that a necessity exists for the relief prayed for, the utility regulatory commission shall approve the issuance of the refunding bonds, either as prayed for or with such modifications or on such conditions as may be deemed just and proper. Such approval shall contain a certification that the income and revenues of said utility, in addition to providing for operation and maintenance, and depreciation, are sufficient to pay the principal and interest of said bonds, together with a margin of ten percent (10%) in excess thereof. All such bonds so issued under the order of such commission shall be incontestable except for fraud, forgery, or violation of constitutional limitations. If on such hearing it shall appear that such relief should not be granted, the utility regulatory commission shall so declare and such bonds shall not be issued; however, in case any petition for the approval of the issuance of such bonds has been denied by the commission, the governing body affected by such denial may within ten (10) days from the date of such denial, file a petition with the commission praying for submission of the question of whether such bonds shall be issued, to the legal voters of such issuing body affected thereby. If such commission be satisfied that said last mentioned petition is in due form, it shall grant the prayer thereof within ten (10) days from the filing of such petition and order such election at a time to be fixed in such order. The county auditor shall give notice for such election and all proceedings for the holding of such election shall be governed by the law regulating general elections in such issuing body. The county auditor shall certify the result of such election to the utility regulatory commission, and if such result be in favor of the issuance of such bonds, said commission within ten (10) days after the filing of such certificate of result shall enter an order approving the issuance of said bonds. All cost and expenses for the holding of such election shall be paid by the issuing body proposing to issue such bonds.

(c) Whenever refunding bonds are to be authorized and issued, under this chapter, for the purpose of refinancing any enterprise, or for the purpose of refinancing and improving any enterprise except those mentioned in subsection (b), no proceedings or procedure of any character whatever, other than the adoption of the ordinance or resolution authorizing the issuance of such refunding bonds, shall be required for the issuance of such refunding bonds by the issuing body.

(d) Notwithstanding subsection (b) or any other law, refunding bonds may be issued under this chapter by an issuing body without approval of the utility regulatory commission if the governing body of the issuing body finds that the refunding will either provide a savings to the issuing body or will not, by itself, result in a rate increase.

Average of the annual compensation
Status: in_force

Sec. 3. (a) This subsection applies to a member who retires before January 1, 2028. Except as provided in subsection (h), in computing the retirement benefit for a nonteacher member, "average of the annual compensation" means the average annual compensation calculated using the twenty (20) calendar quarters of service in a position covered by the retirement fund before retirement in which the member's annual compensation was the highest. However, in order for a quarter to be included in the twenty (20) calendar quarters, the nonteacher member must have performed service throughout the calendar quarter. All twenty (20) calendar quarters need not be continuous but they must be in groups of four (4) consecutive calendar quarters. The same calendar quarter may not be included in two (2) different groups.

(b) This subsection applies to a member who retires after December 31, 2027. This subsection does not apply to a teacher member described in subsection (d) or (e). Except as provided in subsection (h), in computing the retirement benefit for a nonteacher member, "average of the annual compensation" means average annual compensation calculated using the greater of the following:

(1) The five (5) calendar years of service before retirement in which the member's annual compensation for the calendar year was the highest.

(2) The five (5) fiscal years of service before retirement in which the member's annual compensation for the fiscal year was the highest.

(c) The following apply to the calculation under subsection (b):

(1) A year does not qualify for inclusion in the calculation unless:

(A) the year is equal to twelve (12) months; and

(B) the member received creditable service for at least six (6) months throughout the year.

(2) A calendar year begins on January 1.

(3) A fiscal year begins on July 1.

(4) The five (5) years need not be continuous.

(d) This subsection does not apply to a teacher member described in subsection (e). In computing the retirement benefit for a teacher member, "average of the annual compensation" means the average annual compensation for the five (5) years of service before retirement in which the member's annual compensation was highest. In order for a year to be included in the five (5) years, the teacher member must have received for the year credit under IC 5-10.4-4-2 for at least one-half (1/2) year of service. The five (5) years need not be continuous.

(e) This subsection applies to a member of the Indiana state teachers' retirement fund who serves in an elected position for which the member takes an unpaid leave of absence. In computing the retirement benefit for a teacher member described in this subsection for years of service to which IC 5-10.4-5-7 does not apply, "average of the annual compensation" means the annual compensation for the one (1) year of service before retirement in which the member's annual compensation was highest. In order for a year to be used, the teacher member must have received for the year credit under IC 5-10.4-4-2 for at least one-half (1/2) year of service.

(f) Subject to IC 5-10.2-2-1.5, "annual compensation" means:

(1) the basic salary earned by and paid to the member plus the amount that would have been part of that salary but for:

(A) the state's, a school corporation's, a participating political subdivision's, or a state educational institution's paying the member's contribution to the fund for the member; or

(B) the member's salary reduction agreement established under Section 125, 403(b), or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code; and

(2) in the case of a member described in subsection (e) and for years of service to which IC 5-10.4-5-7 does not apply, the basic salary that was not paid during the year but would have been paid to the member during the year under the member's employment contracts, if the member had not taken any unpaid leave of absence to serve in an elected position.

The portion of a back pay award or a similar award that the board determines is compensation under an agreement or under a judicial or an administrative proceeding shall be allocated by the board among the years the member earned or should have earned the compensation. Only that portion of the award allocated to the year the award is made is considered to have been earned during the year the award was made. Interest on an award is not considered annual compensation for any year.

(g) This subsection applies to a member who retires before January 1, 2028. Compensation of not more than two thousand dollars ($2,000) received from the employer in contemplation of the member's retirement, including severance pay, termination pay, retirement bonus, or commutation of unused sick leave or personal leave, may be included in the total annual compensation from which the average of the annual compensation is determined, if it is received:

(1) before the member ceases service; or

(2) within twelve (12) months after the member ceases service.

(h) This subsection applies to a member of the general assembly:

(1) who is a participant in the legislators' retirement system established under IC 2-3.5;

(2) who is also a member of the public employees' retirement fund or the Indiana state teachers' retirement fund; and

(3) whose years of service in the general assembly may not be considered in determining the average of the annual compensation under this section, as provided in IC 2-3.5-1-2(b)(2) or IC 2-3.5-3-1(c).

The board shall use the board's actuarial salary increase assumption to project the salary for any previous year needed to determine the average of the annual compensation.
