Sec. 14.2. (a) This section applies to the part of the tax area in which a facility or complex of facilities described in section 10(b)(3) and 10(c) of this chapter is located. A reference to “tax area addition” in this section includes only the part of the tax area in which a facility or complex of facilities described in section 10(b)(3) and 10(c) of this chapter is located.

     (b) A tax area change described in section 11(a)(2) of this chapter must be established by resolution. A resolution changing the tax area must provide for a request for the allocation of:

(1) covered taxes attributable to a taxable event in the tax area addition; or

(2) covered taxes from income earned in the tax area addition;

to the sports and convention facilities operating fund established by section 16(b) of this chapter. However, to the extent a covered tax has been pledged before January 1, 2009, and allocated under IC 36-10-9-11 to the capital improvement bond fund, that amount shall not be allocated to the sports and convention facilities operating fund.

     (c) The allocation provision must apply only to the tax area addition.

     (d) The resolution changing the tax area must designate each facility and each facility site for which the money to be distributed from the sports and convention facilities operating fund will be used.

     (e) The budget director shall make an annual determination of whether at least one (1) of the following conditions is satisfied:

(1) The maximum additional tax rate for the innkeeper’s tax under IC 6-9-8 was adopted after June 30, 2009, and before September 1, 2009, and was in effect on January 1 of the determination year.

(2) As of January 1 of the determination year:

(A) at least four million dollars ($4,000,000) per year is being raised from the innkeeper’s tax rate increase that was adopted under IC 6-9-8 after June 30, 2009, and before September 1, 2009; and

(B) the treasurer of state has invested in obligations issued by the capital improvement board under IC 5-13-10.5-18.

If the budget director determines that either of the conditions under subdivision (1) or (2) is satisfied, covered taxes attributable to the part of the tax area in which a facility or complex of facilities described in section 10(b)(3) of this chapter is located shall then be deposited in the sports and convention facilities operating fund established by section 16(b) of this chapter. However, the maximum total amount of covered taxes attributable to the part of the tax area in which a facility or complex of facilities described in section 10(b)(3) or 10(c) of this chapter is located that may be deposited in the sports and convention facilities operating fund during each state fiscal year is set forth in subsection (f).

     (f) The maximum amount referred to in subsection (e) is as follows:

(1) Eight million dollars ($8,000,000) for state fiscal years ending June 30, 2019, through June 30, 2021.

After the state fiscal year ending June 30, 2041, no deposit shall be made. To the extent a covered tax has been pledged before January 1, 2009, and allocated under IC 36-10-9-11 to the capital improvement bond fund, that amount shall not be allocated to or deposited in the sports and convention facilities operating fund.

     (g) The department may adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 and guidelines to govern the allocation of covered taxes from the tax area addition.
