Sec. 3. (a) If a county property tax assessment board of appeals is unable to take action on an assessment within the time period prescribed in section 1(a)(2) of this chapter because the board is no longer in session, the board shall file with the department of local government finance a written petition requesting permission to conduct a special session for the purpose of reviewing the assessment within the required time period. If the department of local government finance approves the petition, it shall specify:

(1) the number of session days granted to the county property tax assessment board of appeals; and

(2) the termination date of the special session.

     (b) The county auditor shall pay the expenses and per diem allowances resulting from the special session. The county auditor shall draw warrants for these items on county funds not otherwise appropriated, without further appropriations being required for the disbursements.
