"Advance"; "support"; termination of controlled status
Status: in_force

Sec. 41. (a) As used in subsection (c), "advance" refers to money provided to a distressed township from the state general fund under section 38 of this chapter.

(b) As used in subsection (c), "support" refers to money provided from the distressed township supplemental township assistance fund established by section 51 of this chapter to pay township assistance claims and the operating costs of the management committee during the period the management committee is in control of the township trustee's office.

(c) The controlled status of a township under this chapter terminates at the end of a year if at that time the county, with respect to each controlled township:

(1) has repaid:

(A) all state advances provided to the county under this chapter; and

(B) state support provided to the county under this chapter if the department has reduced the county's general fund budget under section 36 of this chapter;

(2) has paid all valid township assistance claims in the distressed township, including the claims approved under section 27 or 28 of this chapter;

(3) will have sufficient money to pay, not more than thirty (30) days after a claim is submitted for payment, all valid township assistance claims in the distressed township that are expected to be submitted in the following year as determined by the control board, excluding any advances from the state, revenues from short term loans from the county or a financial institution under IC 12-2-4.5 (before its repeal) or IC 12-20-24, and proceeds from bonds issued under IC 12-2-1 (before its repeal), IC 12-2-5 (before its repeal), or this article; and

(4) has no bonds outstanding that were issued to pay for township assistance in the distressed township.

(1) the requirements of subsection (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(4) are satisfied; and

(2) the requirements of subsection (c)(3) cannot be satisfied because the township's maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy provides insufficient revenue to ensure the payment of all valid township assistance claims in the distressed township that will be incurred during the year following the termination of the controlled status of the township;

the county fiscal body may dedicate to the provision of township assistance, from the local income tax imposed as a result of adopting a financial plan under section 35 of this chapter, an amount necessary to satisfy the requirements of subsection (c)(3).

(e) If the control board finds that the local income tax dedicated under subsection (d) will satisfy the requirements of subsection (c)(3), the controlled status of the township under this chapter terminates at the end of the year in which the control board makes the board's finding.

Funding of operation; amount of funding calculation
Status: in_force

Note: This version of section effective until 7-1-2028. See also following version of this section, effective 7-1-2028.

Sec. 2. (a) A county shall provide funding for the operation of community mental health centers in the amount determined under subsection (b) or, in the case of Marion County for calendar year 2019, calendar year 2020, and calendar year 2021, the amount determined under subsection (c).

(b) Except as provided in subsection (c), the amount of funding under subsection (a) for a calendar year is equal to the following:

(1) The county's maximum appropriation amount for the operation of community mental health centers determined under this chapter in the previous calendar year, if the STEP THREE result under the following formula is less than or equal to zero (0):

STEP ONE: Determine the amount of the certified levy for funds subject to the civil maximum levy in the immediately preceding calendar year minus the amount of credits granted under IC 6-1.1-20.6 that were allocated to funds subject to the civil maximum levy in the immediately preceding calendar year, as determined by the department of local government finance under IC 6-1.1-20.6-11.

STEP TWO: Determine the amount of the certified levy for funds subject to the civil maximum levy in the year prior to the immediately preceding calendar year minus the amount of credits granted under IC 6-1.1-20.6 that were allocated to funds subject to the civil maximum levy in the year prior to the immediately preceding calendar year, as determined by the department of local government finance under IC 6-1.1-20.6-11.

STEP THREE: Determine the remainder of the STEP ONE amount minus the STEP TWO amount.

(2) If the STEP THREE result under the formula in subdivision (1) is greater than zero (0), then the county's maximum appropriation amount for the operation of community mental health centers determined under this chapter in the previous calendar year, multiplied by the greater of:

(A) one (1); or

(B) the result of STEP SIX of the following formula:

STEP ONE: Determine the maximum levy growth quotient for the year under IC 6-1.1-18.5 minus one (1).

STEP TWO: Determine the amount of the certified levy for funds subject to the civil maximum levy in the immediately preceding calendar year minus the amount of credits granted under IC 6-1.1-20.6 that were allocated to funds subject to the civil maximum levy in the immediately preceding calendar year, as determined by the department of local government finance under IC 6-1.1-20.6-11.

STEP THREE: Determine the amount of the certified levy for funds subject to the civil maximum levy in the immediately preceding calendar year.

STEP FOUR: Determine the result of the STEP TWO amount divided by the STEP THREE amount.

STEP FIVE: Determine the product of the STEP ONE amount multiplied by the STEP FOUR result.

STEP SIX: Determine the STEP FIVE amount plus one (1).

The department of local government finance shall verify the maximum appropriation calculation under this subsection as part of the certification of the county's budget under IC 6-1.1-17. For taxes due and payable in 2020, the department of local government finance shall calculate the maximum appropriation under this subsection as if the taxes were due and payable in 2019.

(c) This subsection applies only in calendar year 2019, calendar year 2020, and calendar year 2021. In the case of Marion County, the amount of funding under subsection (a) for a calendar year is determined under this subsection and is equal to the following:

(1) For calendar year 2019, the sum of:

(A) the actual amount of the appropriations by the county for community mental health centers under this chapter in 2018; plus

(B) the result of thirty-three percent (33%) multiplied by the result of:

(i) the amount that would have, except for the application of this subsection, applied to the county under subsection (b) for calendar year 2019; minus

(ii) the actual amount of the appropriations by the county for community mental health centers under this chapter in 2018.

(2) For calendar year 2020, the sum of:

(A) the actual amount of the appropriations by the county for community mental health centers under this chapter in 2019; plus

(B) the result of sixty-six percent (66%) multiplied by the result of:

(i) the amount that would have, except for the application of this subsection, applied to the county under subsection (b) for calendar year 2020; minus

(ii) the actual amount of the appropriations by the county for community mental health centers under this chapter in 2019.

(3) For calendar year 2021, the amount that would have, except for the application of this subsection, applied to the county under subsection (b) for calendar year 2021.

The department of local government finance shall verify the maximum appropriation calculation under this subsection as part of the certification of the county's budget under IC 6-1.1-17. This subsection expires January 1, 2022.

(d) The funding provided by a county under this section shall be used solely for:

(1) the operations of community mental health centers serving the county; or

(2) contributing to the nonfederal share of medical assistance payments to community mental health centers serving the county.
