State spending cap formula
Status: in_force

Sec. 2. (a) For the state fiscal year beginning July 1, 2003, and ending June 30, 2004, the state spending cap is equal to the result determined under STEP THREE of the following formula:

STEP ONE: Determine the sum of the total of the appropriations made from the state general fund and the property tax replacement fund (including continuing appropriations) for the state fiscal year beginning July 1, 2002, and ending June 30, 2003.

STEP TWO: Subtract from the STEP ONE result two hundred forty-three million dollars ($243,000,000), which is the amount of certain reversions made by state agencies.

STEP THREE: Multiply the STEP TWO result by one and thirty-five thousandths (1.035).

(b) For the state fiscal year beginning July 1, 2004, and ending June 30, 2005, the state spending cap is equal to the product of the result determined under subsection (a) multiplied by one and thirty-five thousandths (1.035).

(c) The state spending cap for a state fiscal year beginning after June 30, 2005, is equal to the product of the state spending growth quotient for the state fiscal year determined under section 3 of this chapter multiplied by the state spending cap for the immediately preceding state fiscal year.

(d) The state spending cap imposed under this section is increased in the initial state fiscal year in which the state receives additional revenue for deposit in the state general fund as a result of the enactment of a law that:

(1) establishes a new tax or fee after June 30, 2002;

(2) increases the rate of a previously enacted tax or fee after June 30, 2002; or

(3) reduces or eliminates an exemption, a deduction, or a credit against a previously enacted tax or fee after June 30, 2002.

The amount of the increase is equal to the average revenue that the budget agency estimates will be raised by the legislative action in the initial two (2) full state fiscal years in which the legislative change is in effect.

(e) The state spending cap imposed under this section is decreased in the initial state fiscal year in which the state is affected by a decrease in revenue deposited in the state general fund as the result of the enactment of a law that:

(1) eliminates a tax or fee after June 30, 2002;

(2) eliminates any part of a tax rate or fee after June 30, 2002; or

(3) establishes or increases an exemption, a deduction, or a credit against a tax or fee after June 30, 2002.

The amount of the decrease is equal to the average revenue that the budget agency estimates will be lost as a result of the legislative action in the initial two (2) full state fiscal years in which the legislative change is in effect.

(2) Each person to whom a law requires notice to be given.

(3) Each competitor who has applied to the agency for a mutually exclusive license, if issuance is the subject of the order and the competitor's application has not been denied in an order for which all rights to judicial review have been waived or exhausted.

(4) Each person who has provided the agency with a written request for notification of the order, if the request:

(A) describes the subject of the order with reasonable particularity; and

(B) is delivered to the agency at least seven (7) days before the day that notice is given under this section.

(5) Each person who has a substantial and direct proprietary interest in the subject of the order.

(6) Each person whose absence as a party in the proceeding concerning the order would deny another party complete relief in the proceeding or who claims an interest related to the subject of the order and is so situated that the disposition of the matter, in the person's absence, may:

(A) as a practical matter impair or impede the person's ability to protect that interest; or

(B) leave any other person who is a party to a proceeding concerning the order subject to a substantial risk of incurring multiple or otherwise inconsistent obligations by reason of the person's claimed interest.

(d) An agency issuing an order under this section or conducting an administrative review of the order shall give notice of any:

(f) If a petition for review and a petition for stay of effectiveness of an order described in subsection (a) has not been filed, the order is effective fifteen (15) days (or any longer period during which a person may, by statute, seek administrative review of the order) after the order is served. If both a petition for review and a petition for stay of effectiveness are filed before the order becomes effective, any part of the order that is within the scope of the petition for stay is stayed for an additional fifteen (15) days.

An agency shall make a good faith effort to identify and notify these persons, and the agency has the burden of persuasion that it has done so. The agency may request that the applicant for the order assist in the identification of these persons. Failure to notify any of these persons is not grounds for invalidating an order, unless an unnotified person is substantially prejudiced by the lack of notice. The burden of persuasion as to substantial prejudice is on the unnotified person.

(g) If a timely and sufficient application has been made for renewal of a license with reference to any activity of a continuing nature and review is granted under section 7 of this chapter, the existing license does not expire until the agency has disposed of a proceeding under this chapter concerning the renewal, unless a statute other than this article provides otherwise. This subsection does not preclude an agency from issuing, under IC 4-21.5-4, an emergency or other temporary order with respect to the license.

(h) On the motion of any party or other person having a pending petition for intervention in the proceeding, an administrative law judge shall, as soon as practicable, conduct a preliminary hearing to determine whether the order should be stayed. The burden of proof in the preliminary hearing is on the person seeking the stay. The administrative law judge may stay the order in whole or in part. The order concerning the stay may be issued before or after the order described in subsection (a) becomes effective. The resulting order concerning the stay shall be served on the parties, any person who has a pending petition for intervention in the proceeding, and any person who has requested notice under subsection (d). It must include a statement of the facts and law on which it is based.

Televised simulcasts
Status: in_force

Sec. 7. (a) As used in this section, "live racing day" means a day on which at least eight (8) live horse races are conducted.

(b) Upon request by a permit holder from time to time, the commission may authorize the permit holder to conduct pari-mutuel wagering at the permit holder's racetrack on televised simulcasts of horse races from other racetracks in Indiana or in other states or countries where horse racing and wagering are permitted by law. In addition, the commission may authorize the permit holder to conduct pari-mutuel wagering at the permit holder's racetrack on races from racetracks that have entered into a simulcasting contract with the permit holder even if the races are conducted during a time when the permit holder's racetrack is not open. The commission may adopt rules regarding simulcasting. A permit holder that conducts at least one hundred twenty (120) live racing days annually may request an unlimited number of days of simulcasting per year. However, the requirement for one hundred twenty (120) live racing days does not apply if the commission determines that the permit holder is prevented from conducting live horse racing as a result of a natural disaster or other event over which the permit holder has no control. In addition, if the initial racing meeting conducted by a permit holder commences at such a time as to make it impractical to conduct one hundred twenty (120) live racing days during the permit holder's first year of operations, the commission may authorize the permit holder to conduct simulcast wagering during the first year of operations with fewer than one hundred twenty (120) live racing days. A permit holder that conducts fewer than one hundred twenty (120) live racing days annually may request permission to conduct simulcasting only during the hours on a racing day when racing is being conducted at the permit holder's racetrack. The televised simulcasts must comply with the Interstate Horse Racing Act of 1978 (15 U.S.C. 3001 et seq.).

(c) A permit holder that conducts simulcasts on a day that is not a live racing day may not simulcast races conducted in other states unless the permit holder also simulcasts all available races conducted in Indiana on that day.
