| HB1466 | VARIOUS PENSION MATTERS. (CARBAUGH M) Provides that an employer that is eligible but not required to participate in the public employees' retirement fund (PERF) must pay the employer's share of the unfunded liability attributable to the employer's current and former employees if the employer withdraws from PERF or otherwise phases out its participation in PERF. Establishes a procedure by which a political subdivision may participate in the defined contribution only plan (the plan) and choose whether the political subdivision's employees participate in PERF, the plan, or may elect whether to participate in PERF or the plan. Provides that an ordinance or resolution adopted by the governing body of a political subdivision that specifies the departmental, occupational, or other definable classification of employees: (1) who are required to become members of the plan; or (2) who may elect whether to become members of PERF or of the plan; may not take effect before January 2, 2016. Permits a political subdivision that allows its employees to make an election to choose a default option for employees who fail to do so. Provides that the default option is PERF, if a political subdivision does not choose a default option. Permits a political subdivision to establish its employer contribution rate to the plan and to elect to match a percentage of its employees' additional contributions to the plan. Requires the board of trustees (board) of the Indiana public retirement system (INPRS) to assess an employer a supplemental contribution to PERF, if necessary, to fund the employer's share of the actuarial accrued liability that is unfunded because the employer's employees are members of the plan rather than PERF. Requires the board to notify the interim study committee for pension management oversight (interim committee) if the board determines contributions and contribution rates for one or more employers participating in PERF or the teachers' retirement fund (TRF) that differ from the contributions and contribution rates recommended by the INPRS actuaries. For purposes of the statutes allowing the state to make an election or take discretionary action under the public retirement system laws, specifies which entities may make the election or take the action. Requires the office of management and budget to report to the interim committee each year concerning information received from political subdivisions about the subdivisions' retirement plans other than plans administered by INPRS. Requires participation in the plan by an entity or political subdivision that withdraws from or freezes participation in PERF and thereafter offers its employees a retirement benefit. Requires any other public employer that is eligible but not required to participate in PERF and that wishes to offer a retirement benefit to an employee after June 30, 2015, to participate in either PERF or the plan. Grandfathers participation in another defined contribution plan for entities, political subdivisions, and other public employers participating in another plan on July 1, 2015. Provides that after June 30, 2016, a retired member of PERF or TRF may change the member's beneficiary, if the member and the member's designated beneficiary are no longer in a relationship that caused the member to make the original beneficiary designation. Permits a retired member of the 1977 police officers' and firefighters' pension and disability fund (1977 fund) who is at least 55 years of age to: (1) be rehired by the same unit that employed the member in a position covered by the 1977 fund for a position not covered by the 1977 fund without a minimum period of separation from employment; and (2) continue to receive the member's retirement benefit from the 1977 fund. |

| HB1475 | STATEWIDE 911 SYSTEM. (KARICKHOFF M) Removes the requirement that a county council (for a county adjusted gross income tax) or a county income tax council (for a county option income tax) must impose certain additional tax rates as a condition of imposing an additional tax rate for public safety (public safety LOIT). Provides that in a county in which a public safety LOIT is not in effect on July 1, 2015, the county council or county income tax council (as appropriate) may adopt a resolution providing that up to 100% of the tax revenue from a public safety LOIT imposed by a county shall be dedicated to a PSAP in the county that is part of the statewide 911 system. Provides that in a county in which a public safety LOIT is in effect on July 1, 2015, the county council or county income tax council (as appropriate) may adopt a resolution providing that up to 100% of the public safety LOIT tax revenue derived from the part of the tax rate that exceeds the tax rate in effect on July 1, 2015, shall be dedicated a PSAP in the county that is part of the statewide 911 system. Authorizes the fiscal bodies of a county and another political subdivision that are parties to a contract under which the county has assumed the responsibility of operating a PSAP to jointly petition the department of local government finance to adjust the maximum property tax levies of the respective units. Increases the enhanced prepaid wireless charge from $0.50 to $1. Increases the statewide 911 fee for a standard user from $0.90 to $1. Provides that: (1) the statewide 911 board (board) may increase the enhanced prepaid wireless charge and the statewide 911 fee only one time after June 30, 2015, and before July 1, 2020 (and only after review by the budget committee); and (2) if the charge or fee is increased, the amount of the increase must be ten cents. Establishes a $1 enhanced prepaid wireless charge, a $1 statewide 911 fee, and payment schedules for providers that are designated as eligible telecommunications carriers for purposes of receiving reimbursement from the universal service fund. Authorizes the board to audit wireless telecommunications service providers on an annual basis to determine compliance with statewide 911 laws. Beginning with the 2016 fiscal year, requires the board to ensure a distribution of statewide 911 fees to each county in an amount equal to the amount distributed to the county in the 2014 fiscal year. Requires PSAPs to provide an annual report to the board concerning dispatch costs and funding. Requires the board to forward the report to the general assembly. Makes technical corrections. |

| HB1540 | VARIOUS GAMING MATTERS. (DERMODY T) Specifies the process for entering into tribal-state compacts concerning Indian gaming. Authorizes riverboats to move inland to adjacent properties meeting certain requirements. Makes the promotional play deduction for riverboats and racinos permanent. Caps the number of gambling games offered by a licensed owner or an operating agent at the greatest number of gambling games offered since January 1, 2007, regardless of whether the licensed owner relocates gaming operations to an inland casino. Authorizes table games at the racinos beginning in 2021 if approved by the Indiana gaming commission. Provides for the use of AGR attributable to table games to support the horse racing industry. Provides a licensee may not offer more than 2,200 gambling games on the premises of a licensee's racetrack after January 1, 2021. Provides that after June 30, 2015, the racino wagering tax is based on 88% of adjusted gross receipts (rather than 91.5%, under current law). Exempts the riverboat located in a historic hotel district from the admissions tax. Requires a racino licensee to pay a $2,500,000 historic hotel district community support fee and allocates the fee among various entities. Changes the formula for distributing among the state and local entities the wagering taxes collected from a riverboat in a historic hotel district. Establishes the French Lick historic tax credit to provide a credit against the wagering tax imposed on the adjusted gross receipts of a riverboat in a historic hotel district if the riverboat did not receive more than $80,000,000 of adjusted gross receipts during the preceding state fiscal year. Provides that the percentage of the credit depends on the amount of adjusted gross receipts during the preceding state fiscal year. Requires the revenue retained under the credit to be applied to the maintenance and operation of a historic hotel. Provides that $1,000,000 is appropriated from the West Baden Springs historic hotel preservation and maintenance fund for the state fiscal year ending June 30, 2015, and that $2,000,000 is appropriated from the West Baden Springs historic hotel preservation and maintenance fund for each state fiscal year beginning after June 30, 2015, for purposes of expenditures for a qualified historic hotel, the grounds surrounding the hotel, supporting buildings and structures related to the hotel, and other facilities used by the guests of the hotel. (Under current law, only the interest accruing to the fund is annually appropriated for those purposes.) Specifies that the wagering taxes currently being paid into the West Baden Springs historic hotel preservation and maintenance fund shall instead be paid into the state general fund. Imposes a food and beverage tax and a supplemental innkeeper's tax on transactions occurring at the French Lick resort. Provides that the tax revenue from the food and beverage tax and the supplemental innkeeper's tax shall be paid to the West Baden Springs historic hotel preservation and maintenance fund. Authorizes the county council of a county containing a historic hotel district to impose a public safety LOIT without imposing any other LOIT. Repeals a requirement that the gaming commission study the use of complimentary promotional credit programs. Urges the legislative council to assign to an interim study committee certain study topics related to gaming. |

(11) Requires a municipality to exempt property from property tax liability for municipal purposes while the property is assessed as agricultural land under the real property assessment rules and guidelines of the department of local government finance. (12) Requires a municipality to give notice of an annexation hearing to a landowner whose agricultural property is exempted from property taxes for municipal purposes.

| SB436 | STATE AND LOCAL TAXATION. (HERSHMAN B) Provides that if a taxpayer has personal property subject to assessment in more than one township in a county or has personal property that is subject to assessment and that is located in two or more taxing districts within the same township, the taxpayer shall file a single tax return with the county assessor. Provides that a personal property return notice must be filed with the county assessor, and not the township assessor, of the county in which the owner resides when the personal property is located in a different county. Provides a property tax exemption for taxpayers with less than $20,000 of total business personal property in a county. Removes the requirement in current law that such an exemption is effective in a county only if adopted by the county income tax council. Requires, for the $20,000 personal property exemption, that the owner's certification be notarized and signed under penalties for perjury. Extends the expiration date of the law specifying the value of outdoor signs through the 2018 assessment date. Specifies that for purposes of property tax assessment, certain land is considered to be devoted to agricultural use. Specifies that "agricultural use" includes certain uses defined as agricultural uses for purposes of planning and zoning law. Provides that the soil productivity factors used for the March 1, 2011, assessment of agricultural land must be used for the March 1, 2015, assessment date. Specifies that new soil productivity factors shall be used for assessment dates occurring after March 1, 2015. Provides that the statewide agricultural land base rate value per acre for the 2015 assessment date is $2,050 (the base rate used for the 2014 assessment date). Provides that for the 2016 assessment date and each assessment date thereafter, the statewide agricultural land base rate value per acre is equal to the base rate value for the immediately preceding assessment date, multiplied by the assessed value growth quotient. Removes the provision specifying that the statute governing the assessment of agricultural land does not apply to land purchased for residential uses. Specifies conditions for valuing big box retail properties and commercial nonincome producing real property for property tax purposes and excludes multi-tenant income producing shopping centers from both provisions. Requires the Indiana board of tax review (IBTR) to recommend that the parties settle or mediate any case pending before the board as of May 1, 2015, that has not yet received a hearing if certain conditions apply. Urges the legislative council to assign to a study committee the topic of studying the need for a definition of the term "utility of the user" under the current property tax assessment system. Specifies that in the case of a change occurring after February 28, 2015, in the classification of real property, the assessor has the burden of proving that the change is correct in any review or appeal heard by the property tax assessment board of appeals (county board) and in any appeals taken to the IBTR or to the Indiana tax court. Allows county assessors to apply negative influence factors to determine the assessed value of land classified as residential excess land. Provides that the basement of a dwelling or other building that is situated in a special flood hazard area as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency is exempt from property taxation if: (1) the basement floor level has been elevated to mitigate the risk of flooding; and (2) as a result, the basement is rendered unusable as living space. Specifies that, to be eligible for a homestead deduction for property that an individual is buying under contract, the contract must obligate the owner to convey title to the individual upon completion of all of the individual's contract obligations. Provides that on the form forwarded by the assessor to the county auditor and the county board after a preliminary informal meeting with a taxpayer, the assessor must attest that the assessor described to the taxpayer the taxpayer's right to a review of the issues by the county board and the taxpayer's right to appeal to the IBTR and to the Indiana tax court. Provides that for property tax appeals for the 2014 assessment date, or before, a county auditor may pay refund claims greater than $100,000 over a period of five years (through 2019) by using credits against future property taxes owed on the property. Authorizes a county fiscal body to adopt an ordinance to allow political subdivisions and local agencies within the county to use a uniform property tax disclosure form. Specifies the information that must be disclosed on the form. Provides that the department of local government finance (DLGF) shall: (1) review the tax rates and levies for each fire protection territory whose establishment was effective not later than July 1, 2012; (2) make recommendations to the participating units concerning their existing tax rates and tax levies; and (3) report its findings and recommendations to the legislative council. Deletes the requirement that a county may impose the motor vehicle license excise surtax only at the same rate or amount on each motor vehicle. Authorizes counties to: (1) impose the surtax at the same rate or amount on each motor vehicle; or (2) impose the surtax at one or more different rates based on the class of vehicle (passenger vehicles, motorcycles, trucks with a declared gross weight that does not exceed 11,000 pounds, and motor driven cycles). Does the following in the case of a certified technology park that is operating jointly by multiple redevelopment commissions: (1) Increases the total maximum amount of tax increment that may be captured by the certified technology park. (2) Authorizes a party to the agreement to allocate a part of the maximum amount that may be deposited in the party's incremental tax financing fund to one or more other parties to the agreement. Provides that a redevelopment commission may enter into a written agreement with a taxpayer in which the taxpayer waives review of any assessment of the taxpayer's tangible property that is located in an allocation area. Urges the legislative council to assign to a study committee the issue of alternative means of agricultural land assessment. Provides that for purposes of the provisions in current law concerning: (1) the designation of a township as distressed; (2) the requiring of a separate township assistance benefits levy and a separate township assistance administration levy; and (3) the transfer of municipal territory to an adjacent township after a referendum; those provisions apply to a township if the township's township assistance property tax rate is more than the result of the statewide average township assistance property tax rate for the preceding year (rather than for the current year, under existing law) multiplied by 12. Urges a legislative study of methods used to determine the true tax value for nonincome producing commercial property. |
