2021 Indiana Code|Title 5. State and Local Administration|Article 13. Investment of Public Funds|Chapter 12. Board for Depositories|5-13-12-5. Assessment Rate; Determination and Fixing; Assessment Base; Waiver or Elimination of Assessment Rate

Sec. 5. (a) Subject to the limitations prescribed in this chapter, the board for depositories may fix the assessment rate to provide assets in the fund sufficient to equal the reserve for losses of the fund for the insurance of public funds on deposit in depositories. Effective on July 1, and January 1, of each year, and from time to time as the board determines necessary, the board shall determine and fix the fair and reasonable assessment rate for each classification of deposit, if any, to be used by depositories in determining the assessments. This determination shall be made by the board before or as soon as practicable after the applicable July 1, January 1, or other date established by the board. In fixing the rate, if any, the board shall consider the amount of public funds currently on deposit, the liabilities of the insurance fund, contingent and accrued, and the determination of the board on the amount of the reserve for losses of the insurance fund as set out in section 7(b) of this chapter. For any period, the maximum assessment rate that may be fixed by the board is two percent (2%). The board may lower or waive the assessment on any or all classifications of deposit if in its discretion it determines that a lower rate or waiver will not prevent the fund from attaining sufficient assets to equal the reserve for losses. Subject to the board's power to implement an assessment at any time by action by the board, if no action has been taken by the board for depositories fixing the assessment rate, if any, on public funds, the assessment rate is the same rate, if any. Whenever as of July 1, or January 1, or another date established by the board, the value of the assets in the fund equals or exceeds the reserve for losses, the board shall eliminate the assessment requirement for each classification of deposit.(b) During any period when an assessment rate is in effect, the assessment base for each depository of public funds shall be determined monthly. The assessment base must be equal to the sum total of all the minimum balances of each classification of public funds on deposit in each and all accounts during the month, the minimum balance of each account being taken respectively as of the date on which it occurs. For purposes of this section, deposits that are federally insured are not considered public funds deposits in a depository. On or before the second day of each month in which an assessment rate is in effect, each depository shall compute the amount of the assessment due from it to the insurance fund on account of public funds on deposit with it during the preceding month. The amount of the monthly assessment, if any, is the product obtained by multiplying one-twelfth (1/12) times the assessment base for the month for which the assessment is being computed.(c) During the time the assessment rate on public funds has been waived or eliminated by the board for depositories, the respective depositories are not obligated to pay any assessment but shall continue to prepare and file the reports that would otherwise be required to be prepared and filed under this chapter.As added by P.L.19-1987, SEC.14.
