(1) Fifty percent (50%) of the money shall be deposited in the affordable housing and community development fund established by IC 5-20-4-7. The proceeds of any such payments are continuously appropriated for the purposes specified in IC 5-20-4-8. Any such proceeds in the affordable housing and community development fund that remain unexpended at the end of any state fiscal year remain in the fund until expended and do not revert to the state general fund due to United States Internal Revenue Service requirements related to outstanding Indiana finance authority bonds.

(2) Fifty percent (50%) of the money shall be distributed among the counties that either have at least one (1) unit that has established an affordable housing fund under IC 5-20-5-15.5 or a housing trust fund established under IC 36-7-15.1-35.5(e) in proportion to the population of each county. The money shall be allocated within the county as follows:

(A) In a county that does not contain a consolidated city and has at least one (1) unit that has established an affordable housing fund under IC 5-20-5-15.5, the amount to be distributed to each unit that has established an affordable housing fund under IC 5-20-5-15.5 is the amount available for distribution multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the population of the unit. The denominator of the fraction is the population of all units in the county that have established an affordable housing fund. For purposes of allocating an amount to the affordable housing fund established by the county, the population to be used for that unit is the population of the county outside any city or town that has established an affordable housing fund. The allocated amount shall be deposited in the unit's affordable housing fund for the purposes of the fund.

(B) In a county to which clause (A) does not apply, the money shall be deposited in the housing trust fund established under IC 36-7-15.1-35.5(e) for the purposes of the fund.

Bond
Status: in_force

Sec. 9. (a) A licensed owner must post a bond with the commission at least sixty (60) days before the commencement of gambling on the riverboat.

(b) The bond shall be furnished in:

(1) cash or negotiable securities;

(2) a surety bond:

(A) with a surety company approved by the commission; and

(B) guaranteed by a satisfactory guarantor; or

(3) an irrevocable letter of credit issued by a banking institution of Indiana acceptable to the commission.

(c) If a bond is furnished in cash or negotiable securities, the principal shall be placed without restriction at the disposal of the commission, but income inures to the benefit of the licensee.

(d) The bond:

(1) is subject to the approval of the commission;

(2) must be in an amount that the commission determines will adequately reflect the amount that a local community will expend for infrastructure and other facilities associated with a riverboat operation; and

(3) must be payable to the commission as obligee for use in payment of the licensed owner's financial obligations to the local community, the state, and other aggrieved parties, as determined by the rules of the commission.

(e) If after a hearing (after at least five (5) days written notice) the commission determines that the amount of a licensed owner's bond is insufficient, the licensed owner shall upon written demand of the commission file a new bond.

(f) The commission may require a licensed owner to file a new bond with a satisfactory surety in the same form and amount if:

(1) liability on the old bond is discharged or reduced by judgment rendered, payment made, or otherwise; or

(2) in the opinion of the commission any surety on the old bond becomes unsatisfactory.

(g) If a new bond obtained under subsection (e) or (f) is unsatisfactory, the commission shall cancel the owner's license. If the new bond is satisfactorily furnished, the commission shall release in writing the surety on the old bond from any liability accruing after the effective date of the new bond.

(h) A bond is released on the condition that the licensed owner remains at the site for which the owner's license is granted for the lesser of:

(1) five (5) years; or

(2) the date the commission grants a license to another licensed owner to operate from the site for which the bond was posted.

(i) A licensed owner who does not meet the requirements of subsection (h) forfeits a bond filed under this section. The proceeds of a bond that is in default under this subsection are paid to the commission for the benefit of the local unit from which the riverboat operated.

(j) The total and aggregate liability of the surety on a bond is limited to the amount specified in the bond, and the continuous nature of the bond may in no event be construed as allowing the liability of the surety under a bond to accumulate for each successive approval period during which the bond is in force.

(k) A bond filed under this section is released sixty (60) days after:

(1) the time has run under subsection (h); and

(2) a written request is submitted by the licensed owner.
