(e) Money received by a city, town, or county under subsection (d) or (g) may be used for any of the following purposes:

(2) To each town located in the county according to the ratio that the town's population bears to the total population of the county.

(3) After the distributions required in subdivisions (1) and (2) are made, the remainder shall be paid in equal amounts to the consolidated city and the county.

(h) This subsection does not apply to an inland casino operating in Vigo County, Allen County, DeKalb County, or Steuben County.

(1) Before July 1, 2021, forty-eight million dollars ($48,000,000).

(2) After June 30, 2021, if the total adjusted gross receipts received by licensees from gambling games authorized under this article during the preceding state fiscal year is equal to or greater than the total adjusted gross receipts received by licensees from gambling games authorized under this article during the state fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, the maximum amount is forty-eight million dollars ($48,000,000).

(3) After June 30, 2021, if the total adjusted gross receipts received by licensees from gambling games authorized under this article during the preceding state fiscal year is less than the total adjusted gross receipts received by licensees from gambling games authorized under this article during the state fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, the maximum amount is equal to the result of:

(A) forty-eight million dollars ($48,000,000); multiplied by

(B) the result of:

(i) the total adjusted gross receipts received by licensees from gambling games authorized under this article during the preceding state fiscal year; divided by

(ii) the total adjusted gross receipts received by licensees from gambling games authorized under this article during the state fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.

If the total amount determined under subsection (f) exceeds the maximum amount determined under this subsection, the amount distributed to an entity under subsection (f) must be reduced according to the ratio that the amount distributed to the entity under IC 4-33-12-6 or IC 4-33-12-8 bears to the total amount distributed under IC 4-33-12-6 and IC 4-33-12-8 to all entities receiving a supplemental distribution.

(i) This subsection applies to a supplemental distribution, if any, payable to Lake County, Hammond, Gary, or East Chicago under subsections (f) and (h). Beginning in July 2016, the state comptroller shall, after making any deductions from the supplemental distribution required by IC 6-3.1-20-7, deduct from the remainder of the supplemental distribution otherwise payable to the unit under this section the lesser of:

(1) the remaining amount of the supplemental distribution; or

(2) the difference, if any, between:

(A) three million five hundred thousand dollars ($3,500,000); minus

(B) the amount of admissions taxes constructively received by the unit in the previous state fiscal year.

The state comptroller shall distribute the amounts deducted under this subsection to the northwest Indiana redevelopment authority established under IC 36-7.5-2-1 for deposit in the development authority revenue fund established under IC 36-7.5-4-1.

(j) Money distributed to a political subdivision under subsection (b):

(1) must be paid to the fiscal officer of the political subdivision and may be deposited in the political subdivision's general fund (in the case of a school corporation, the school corporation may deposit the money into either the education fund (IC 20-40-2) or the operations fund (IC 20-40-18)) or riverboat fund established under IC 36-1-8-9, or both;

(2) may not be used to reduce the maximum levy under IC 6-1.1-18.5 of a county, city, or town or the maximum tax rate of a school corporation, but, except as provided in subsection (b)(3)(B), may be used at the discretion of the political subdivision to reduce the property tax levy of the county, city, or town for a particular year;

(3) except as provided in subsection (b)(3)(B), may be used for any legal or corporate purpose of the political subdivision, including the pledge of money to bonds, leases, or other obligations under IC 5-1-14-4; and

(4) is considered miscellaneous revenue.

Money distributed under subsection (b)(3)(B) must be used for the purposes specified in subsection (b)(3)(B).

(k) After June 30, 2020, the amount of wagering taxes that would otherwise be distributed to South Bend under subsection (d) shall be deposited as being received from all riverboats whose supplemental wagering tax, as calculated under IC 4-33-12-1.5(b), is over three and five-tenths percent (3.5%). The amount deposited under this subsection, in each riverboat's account, is proportionate to the supplemental wagering tax received from that riverboat under IC 4-33-12-1.5 in the month of July. The amount deposited under this subsection must be distributed in the same manner as the supplemental wagering tax collected under IC 4-33-12-1.5. This subsection expires June 30, 2021.

(l) After June 30, 2021, the amount of wagering taxes that would otherwise be distributed to South Bend under subsection (d) shall be withheld and deposited in the state general fund.

Awarding of grants; required considerations; conditions
Status: in_force

Sec. 8. (a) In determining whether to award a grant under this chapter in connection with a proposed qualified broadband project, the office shall consider the following:

(1) Awarding grants under this chapter with a preference for funding proposed qualified broadband projects that will provide Internet connections to the most unserved areas at the highest speeds for the lowest grant amount per area.

(2) The community's need for, and the likely economic impact of, the proposed qualified broadband project in the unserved area.

(3) Demonstrated community support for the proposed qualified broadband project, including the certification of one (1) or more communities to be served by the project as broadband ready communities under IC 5-28-28.5.

(4) The likelihood that the unserved area will not be served with qualified broadband service without state grant funding.

(5) Whether funding has been allocated for the unserved area from the federal Connect America Fund or from any other similar federal funding program.

(6) Whether the broadband infrastructure proposed in connection with the qualified broadband project is scalable to higher download and upload speeds.

(7) Awarding grants for qualified broadband projects that will serve a larger unserved area or a greater number of locations within an unserved area.

(8) The useful life of the broadband network proposed to be deployed.

(9) The technical, managerial, and financial capabilities of the applicant.

(10) The ability of the applicant to commit to providing at least twenty percent (20%) of the cost to deploy the proposed broadband infrastructure. When multiple applicants apply for a grant to provide broadband service to the same census block within an unserved area, the office may establish a preference for approving applications with a greater capital contribution by the applicant.

(11) Any proposed plans to encourage the adoption and use of broadband services within the unserved area.

(12) Any other factors the office considers appropriate to enable the deployment of broadband infrastructure to provide qualified broadband service in unserved areas in Indiana.

(b) The following conditions apply to the awarding of grants under this chapter:

(1) The office shall not award a grant with respect to any geographic area if information made available to the office, through comments or objections received under section 7(c) of this chapter or otherwise, indicates any of the following:

(A) The area is already being served by at least one (1) provider offering qualified broadband service in the area. However, any person may, in a petition filed with the office, provide evidence that one (1) or more locations within one (1) or more census blocks in the area are unserved areas. Upon receiving a petition described in this clause, the office shall notify all broadband providers operating in all census blocks included in the petition. Those broadband providers may in turn demonstrate to the office that the locations included in the petition:

(i) are already served with qualified broadband service; or

(ii) will be served with qualified broadband service not later than eighteen (18) months after the date of the application for a grant under this chapter.

(B) The area is currently being built out for qualified broadband service by a qualified broadband provider, and the construction is scheduled to be completed within one (1) year of the date of an application under this chapter.

(C) The area is currently planned for qualified broadband service expansion by a qualified broadband provider:

(i) without state grant funding; and

(ii) with project completion forecast not later than eighteen (18) months after the date of an application under this chapter.

If the office denies a grant on the basis of clause (A)(ii), (B), or (C), the qualified broadband provider involved in the current or planned project, as applicable, shall provide the office with a schedule for completion of the current or planned build out. The qualified broadband provider shall also provide the office with quarterly status updates, beginning three (3) months after the office's decision denying a grant for the area, concerning any work done toward completion of the project described in clause (A)(ii), (B), or (C). If the qualified broadband provider fails to provide a schedule for completion or a status report by the date required by the office, or if the office determines that the time frame for project completion described in clause (A)(ii), (B), or (C), as applicable, will likely not be met, the office may award a grant under this chapter with respect to the area and shall provide notice of that fact to all former applicants that were previously denied a grant under this chapter with respect to the area on the basis of clause (A)(ii), (B), or (C). The qualified broadband provider that failed to provide a schedule or report, or that failed to meet the time frame for project completion described in clause (A)(ii), (B), or (C), may not use this subdivision to subsequently challenge the awarding of a grant under this chapter with respect to the same area.

(2) The office shall not award a grant to any applicant that is receiving for the same unserved area for which a grant is sought under this chapter:

(A) a federal grant; or

(B) another state grant;

to provide qualified broadband service to the area under a grant program the express purpose of which is to provide broadband service to unserved areas.

(3) The office shall not discriminate between different types of technology used to provide qualified broadband service in connection with proposed qualified broadband projects.

(4) The office shall seek any assurances that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that proposed qualified broadband projects will be substantially completed within the time period set forth in a grant application under this chapter.

(5) The office shall condition the release of any grant funds awarded under this chapter on:

(A) the progressive completion, as measured on a not more than quarterly basis, of the approved qualified broadband project; and

(B) operational testing, when possible, to confirm the level of service proposed in the grant application.

Once funds have been released in accordance with this subdivision, all authority and ownership of the broadband infrastructure vests with the qualified broadband provider that built the infrastructure.
