Sec. 8. On the date specified in the notice described in section 6(3) of this chapter, the official shall conduct a hearing for the purpose of further considering the property owner’s creation or retention of employment as described in section 6(1) of this chapter. Based on the information presented at the hearing by the property owner and other interested parties, the official shall determine whether the property owner has made reasonable efforts to create or retain employment as described in section 6(1) of this chapter and whether any failure to create or retain employment was caused by factors beyond the control of the property owner. If the official determines that the property owner has not made reasonable efforts to create or retain employment, the official shall determine that the property owner’s deduction under this chapter is terminated. If the official terminates the deduction, the deduction does not apply to:

(1) the next installment of property taxes owed by the property owner; or

(2) any subsequent installment of property taxes.
