Effective 7-1-2027. Sec. 4.5. (a) Revenue raised from a tax rate for nonmunicipal civil taxing units under section 2(b)(3) of this chapter may be distributed by the county to nonmunicipal civil taxing units subject to the provisions of this section. (b) Subject to the maximum aggregate tax rate of not more than two-tenths of one percent (0.2%) under section 2(b)(3) of this chapter, the adopting body may adopt a tax rate for each type of nonmunicipal civil taxing unit, which may not exceed more than five-hundredths of one percent (0.05%) for any given unit type. The revenue raised from a tax rate for a specific type of nonmunicipal civil taxing unit shall be allocated to all nonmunicipal civil taxing units of that same type located within the county on a pro rata per capita basis, subject to subsection (e). (c) A county solid waste management district (as defined in IC 13-11-2-47 ) or a joint solid waste management district (as defined in IC 13-11-2-113 ) is not an eligible nonmunicipal civil taxing unit for the purpose of receiving an allocation of general purpose revenue under this chapter unless a majority of the members of each of the county fiscal bodies of the counties within the district passes a resolution approving the distribution. (d) A resolution passed by a county fiscal body under subsection (c) may: (1) expire on a date specified in the resolution; or (2) remain in effect until the county fiscal body revokes or rescinds the resolution. (e) A nonmunicipal civil taxing unit wishing to receive a share of revenue under this section in a year must adopt a resolution requesting the distribution from the county and must provide a certified copy of the resolution to the adopting body not later than July 1 of the year immediately preceding the distribution year. Not later than August 1 of the year immediately preceding the distribution year, the adopting body shall hold a public hearing on the resolution requesting the distribution and provide the public with notice of the time and place where the public hearing will be held. The notice must be given in accordance with IC 5-3-1 and include a description of the resolution requesting the distribution from the county. (f) If a nonmunicipal civil taxing unit adopts a resolution under this subsection and provides the resolution to the adopting body as set forth in this subsection, the county shall distribute to the nonmunicipal civil taxing unit an amount of revenue raised from the tax rate under section 2(b)(3) of this chapter for the distribution year as set forth in subsection (f). (g) If one (1) or more, but not all, nonmunicipal civil taxing units adopt a resolution under subsection (e) requesting a distribution in a given year, the county may either distribute the total amount of revenue raised from the tax rate under section 2(b)(3) of this chapter to only those nonmunicipal civil taxing units that have provided a resolution request, or the county may distribute the total amount of revenue raised from a tax rate under section 2(b)(3) of this chapter to all nonmunicipal civil taxing units as set forth in this section. If no nonmunicipal civil taxing units adopt a resolution to request a distribution in a given year, the county may retain the revenue raised from a tax rate for nonmunicipal civil taxing units for that year and use the revenue as general purpose revenue for the county under section 4 of this chapter.
