Provides that, if a member separates from service with an employer before the member is fully vested in the employer contribution subaccount, the amount in the subaccount that is not vested is: (1) transferred to the member's new employer, if the new employer participates in the plan; or (2) held in the member's employer contribution subaccount until forfeited. Provides that a member who: (1) terminates service in a covered position; and (2) does not perform any service in a covered position for at least 30 days after the date on which the member terminates service; is entitled to withdraw vested amounts in the member's account. Provides that a member may elect to have withdrawals paid as: (1) a lump sum; (2) a direct rollover to another eligible retirement plan; or (3) if the member is at least 62 years of age with at least five years of participation in the plan, a monthly annuity in accordance with the rules of the board.

Limits initial transfers into the fund to 20% of the balance in a fund member's or state employee's account. Limits annual contributions to the fund to 20% of a member's or an employee's total contributions for that year. Provides that, if a member or employee contributes not less than the amount the member or employee initially designated to the fund for at least 36 consecutive months and maintains in the fund the amounts transferred and contributed during that period, the state shall contribute on the member's or employee's behalf to the fund as a match 10% of the total amount contributed by the member or employee or on the member's or employee's behalf to the fund during that 36 month period. Provides that for each additional 12 consecutive months that a member or an employee contributes not less than the member or employee initially designated to the fund and maintains in the fund the amounts transferred and contributed that period, the state shall contribute on the member's or employee's behalf to the fund as a match 10% of the total amount contributed by the member or employee or on the member's or employee's behalf to the fund during that 12 month period. Provides that, for purposes of determining the amount of the state's match, the total amount contributed by the member or employee or on the member's or employee's behalf excludes the amount of any state match. Provides that, in the case of a group insurance plan established by the state police department, conservation officers of the department of natural resources, and the state excise police (state law enforcement agencies), any proposed modification to change the benefits under the plan may not be made unless the modification is approved by the budget agency.

| HB1009 | SCHOOL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT. (COOK A) Provides for the following, effective January 1, 2019: (1) Eliminates the school general fund. (2) Creates an education fund to be used as the exclusive fund to pay expenses allocated to student instruction and learning. (3) Creates an operations fund to replace the capital projects fund, the transportation fund, the school bus replacement fund, an art association or a historical society fund, and the public playground fund. Provides that the levy for a school corporation's operations fund consists of the following separately calculated levies: (1) A transportation levy. (2) A school bus replacement levy. (3) A capital projects levy. (4) For certain schools, levies to provide funding for an art association, a historical society, or a public playground. Specifies that each separately calculated maximum levy for 2019 is the 2018 maximum levy increased by the maximum levy (assessed value) growth quotient and that after 2019 each separately calculated maximum levy is increased by the maximum levy (assessed value) growth quotient. Provides that on January 1, 2019, the balance in the school corporation's general fund shall be transferred to the education fund. Specifies that before March 1, 2019, the governing body of a school corporation may transfer to the school corporation's operations fund, from the amounts transferred from the school corporation's general fund, any amounts that are not allocated to student instruction and learning. Allows transfers between the education fund and operations fund. Specifies that money transferred from the operations fund to the education fund is not revenue for purposes of collective bargaining. Provides new allowable expenditures from the operations fund to include all skilled trades, school maintenance vehicles, and contracted services related to buildings and grounds. Eliminates the requirement to publish the entire capital projects plan and school bus replacement plan in a newspaper and requires that the plans be posted on the school corporation's web site. Removes the approval of the plans and appropriations by the department of local government finance. Eliminates various dedicated funds and moves the purpose for each of these funds to the education fund or operations fund. Creates the school corporation referendum controlled project tax levy fund to pay for projects approved by a voter referendum. Makes corresponding changes. Extends (through 2019) the ability in current law for a school corporation to allocate circuit breaker credits proportionately (without taking protected taxes into account) under certain circumstances. Provides that the chart of accounts to be used by school corporations must coincide with the following expenditure categories: (1) Student academic achievement expenditures. (2) Student instructional support expenditures. (3) Overhead and operational expenditures. (4) Nonoperational expenditures. Provides that a school corporation that has an ADM of more than 15,000 may not issue bonds after August 15, 2020, unless the school corporation has for its preceding budget year prepared an annual financial report using the modified accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Provides that a county that has a population of more than 100,000 and a municipality that has a population of more than 75,000 may not issue bonds after June 30, 2020, unless the county or municipality has for its preceding budget year prepared an annual financial report using the modified accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Allows the state examiner to waive these requirements if the state examiner determines that a waiver is in the best interest of the school corporation, county, or municipality. Replaces the provisions in current law (which would be phased in during 2017-2020) concerning annual financial report requirements that must be met before a school corporation, county, or municipality may issue bonds. Provides that effective July 1, 2017, a school corporation may not issue any bonds unless it has filed its annual financial report with the department of education. Provides that effective July 1, 2017, a county or municipality may not issue any bonds unless it has filed its annual financial report with the state examiner for the preceding fiscal year. |

| HB1043 | REFERENDUM AND REMONSTRANCE PROCESS. (THOMPSON J) Increases the threshold used for purposes of determining whether a capital project is a controlled project as follows: (1) In the case of an ordinance or resolution adopted after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2019, making a preliminary determination to issue bonds or to enter into a lease for the project, the threshold is increased from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000. (2) In the case of an ordinance or resolution adopted after December 31, 2018, making a preliminary determination to issue bonds or enter into a lease for the project, the threshold is increased by applying the assessed value growth quotient for the year to the threshold amount determined for the preceding year. Specifies that a capital project is also a controlled project if the cost of the project will exceed: (1) 1% of the total gross assessed value of property within the political subdivision, if that total gross assessed value is more than $100,000,000; or (2) $1,000,000, if the total gross assessed value of property within the political subdivision is not more than $100,000,000. Increases the thresholds used for applying the petition and remonstrance process and referendum process as follows: (1) In the case of an ordinance or resolution adopted after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2019, making a preliminary determination to issue bonds or to enter into a lease for the project, the threshold is increased from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 for school building projects and from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 for any civil unit project. (2) In the case of an ordinance or resolution adopted after December 31, 2018, making a preliminary determination to issue bonds or enter into a lease for the project, the threshold is increased by applying the assessed value growth quotient for the year to the threshold amount determined for the preceding year. Provides that a school building project is also subject to the referendum process if the cost of the project will exceed: (1) 1% of the total gross assessed value of property within the political subdivision, if that total gross assessed value is more than $1,000,000,000; or (2) $10,000,000, if the total gross assessed value of property within the political subdivision is not more than $1,000,000,000. Provides that a civil unit project is also subject to the referendum process if the cost of the project will exceed: (1) 1% of the total gross assessed value of property within the political subdivision, if that total gross assessed value is more than $100,000,000; or (2) $1,000,000, if the total gross assessed value of property within the political subdivision is not more than $100,000,000. Provides that a controlled project for which a political subdivision makes a preliminary determination to issue bonds or enter into a lease is subject to the referendum process if the sum of: (1) the cost of that controlled project; plus (2) the costs of all other controlled projects for which the political subdivision has previously adopted within the preceding 365 days an ordinance or resolution making a preliminary determination to issue bonds or enter into a lease for those other controlled projects; exceeds $25,000,000. Requires that a political subdivision's notice of the preliminary determination to issue bonds or enter into a lease for a controlled project must also include information concerning the estimated amount of the political subdivision's debt service levy and rate that will result during the following 10 years if the political subdivision issues the bonds or enters into the lease, after also considering any changes that will occur to the debt service levy and rate during that period on account of any outstanding bonds or lease obligations that will mature or terminate. Provides that a petition objecting that a political subdivision has divided a controlled project in order to avoid the requirements of the petition and remonstrance process or the referendum process must be filed with the department of local government finance (DLGF) not more than 10 days after the political subdivision gives notice of the political subdivision's determination to issue bonds or enter into leases for the capital project. Specifies that if the DLGF determines that a political subdivision divided a controlled project in order to avoid the referendum requirements and the political subdivision continues to desire to proceed with the project, the political subdivision may appeal the determination of the DLGF to the Indiana board of tax review. Specifies that a political subdivision shall be considered to have divided a capital project in order to avoid the requirements of the petition and remonstrance process or the referendum process if the result of one or more of the subprojects cannot reasonably be considered an independently desirable end in itself without reference to another capital project. Relocates existing law concerning calculation of the cost of certain projects by a school corporation career and technical education school to a separate section within the controlled projects statute. Requires a political subdivision to: (1) conduct at least two public hearings on a preliminary determination concerning a controlled project (rather than one hearing under current law); and (2) make certain information available to the public at each of the public hearings. Provides that if a referendum for a controlled project or for a school operating referendum fund property tax levy is defeated, another referendum may not be held earlier than 700 days after the date of the first referendum (rather than 350 days under current law). Specifies that the 350 day limit applies if a sufficient petition requesting that limit is submitted by property owners or voters. Provides that a school corporation operating referendum fund property tax levy may not be imposed for more than eight years. (Current law provides that the referendum levy may not be imposed for more than seven years.) Applies to a referendum that takes place after June 30, 2017. |

| SB309 | DISTRIBUTED GENERATION. (HERSHMAN B) Requires: (1) the utility regulatory commission (IURC) to post a summary of the results of the IURC's most recent periodic review of the basic rates and charges of an electricity supplier on the IURC's Internet web site; and (2) the electricity supplier subject to the review to provide a link on the electricity supplier's Internet web site to the IURC's posted summary. Amends the statute concerning alternate energy production, cogeneration, and small hydro facilities to: (1) include in the definition of a "private generation project" certain cogeneration facilities that: (A) are located on the same site as the host operation; or (B) are located on or contiguous to the site of the host operation and are directly integrated with the host operation; and (2) include organic waste biomass facilities within the definition of an "alternative energy production facility". Specifies that an electric utility or a steam utility is not required to distribute, transmit, deliver, or wheel electricity from a private generation project. Requires the IURC to: (1) review the rates charged by electric utilities for backup power to eligible facilities and for purchases of power from eligible facilities; (2) identify the extent to which the rates meet specified criteria; and (3) report the IURC's findings to the interim study committee on energy, utilities, and telecommunications; not later than November 1, 2018. Provides that before granting to an electricity supplier that is a public utility a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the construction of an electric facility with a generating capacity of more than 80 megawatts, the utility regulatory commission (IURC) must find that the electricity supplier allowed or will allow third parties to submit firm and binding bids for the construction of the proposed facility. Provides that a public utility that: (1) installs a wind, a solar, or an organic waste biomass project with a nameplate capacity of not more than 50,000 kilowatts; and (2) uses for the project a contractor that is: (A) subject to Indiana unemployment taxes; and (B) selected by the public utility through a competitive procurement process; is not required to obtain a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the project from the IURC. Provides that a net metering tariff of an electricity supplier (other than a municipally owned utility or a rural electric membership corporation) must remain available to the electricity supplier's customers until: (1) the aggregate amount of net metering facility nameplate capacity under the tariff equals at least 1.5% of the electricity supplier's most recent summer peak load; or (2) July 1, 2022; whichever occurs earlier. Requires the IURC to amend its net metering rule, and an electricity supplier to amend its net metering tariff, to: (1) increase the limit on the aggregate amount of net metering capacity under the tariff to 1.5% of the electricity supplier's most recent summer peak load; and (2) reserve 40% of the capacity under the tariff for residential customers and 15% of the capacity for customers that install an organic waste biomass facility. Provides that a customer that installs a net metering facility on the customer's premises after December 31, 2017, and before the date on which the net metering tariff of the customer's electricity supplier terminates under the bill, shall continue to be served under the net metering tariff until: (1) the customer removes from the customer's premises or replaces the net metering facility; or (2) July 1, 2032; whichever occurs earlier. Provides that a successor in interest to the premises on which a net metering facility was installed during the applicable period may, if the successor in interest chooses, be served under the terms and conditions of the net metering tariff of the electricity supplier serving the premises until: (1) the net metering facility is removed from the premises or is replaced; or (2) July 1, 2032; whichever occurs earlier. Provides that a customer that installs a net metering facility on the customer's premises before January 1, 2018, and that is participating in an electricity supplier's net metering tariff on December 31, 2017, shall continue to be served under the terms and conditions of the net metering tariff until: (1) the customer removes from the customer's premises or replaces the net metering facility; or (2) July 1, 2047; whichever occurs earlier. Provides that a successor in interest to the premises on which a net metering facility was installed before January 1, 2018, may, if the successor in interest chooses, be served under the terms and conditions of the net metering tariff of the electricity supplier serving the premises until: (1) the net metering facility is removed from the premises or is replaced; or (2) July 1, 2047; whichever occurs earlier. Provides that an electricity supplier shall procure only the excess distributed generation produced by a customer. Provides that the rate for excess distributed generation procured by an electricity supplier must equal the product of: (1) the average marginal price of electricity paid by the electricity supplier during the most recent calendar year; multiplied by (2) 1.25. Provides that an electricity supplier shall compensate a customer for excess distributed generation through a credit on the customer's monthly bill. Provides that the IURC may approve an electricity supplier's request to recover energy delivery costs from customers producing distributed generation if the IURC finds that the request: (1) is reasonable; and (2) does not result in a double recovery of energy delivery costs from customers producing distributed generation. Urges the legislative council to assign to the interim study committee on energy, utilities, and telecommunications the topic of self-generation of electricity by school corporations. |

(2) Specify that for purposes of the statute, improvements include interior improvements made to real property, including improvements made to a basement. (3) Expand a consumer's right to cancel a contract to include canceling a contract before midnight on the third business day after the later of the following: (A) The date the contract is signed by the consumer and the real property improvement supplier. (B) If applicable, the date the consumer receives written notice from the consumer's insurance company of a final determination as to whether the consumer's claim or the contract is a covered loss under an insurance policy.

(4) Require that a real property improvement contract include an electronic mail address for the real property improvement supplier and each owner, officer, employee, or agent to whom consumer problems and inquiries can be directed. (5) Allow a consumer to submit a notice of contract cancellation by electronic mail. (6) Prohibit a third party subcontractor or vendor from initiating or pursuing a claim with an insured consumer's insurance company. (7) Provide that a real property improvement contract: (A) may not assign any rights of the consumer to any supplier or third party; and (B) must reflect the full amount of the contract price, less any discounts offered. (8) Make it a Class A misdemeanor for a real property improvement supplier or a third party to recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally impersonate a consumer. |

| SB472 | REQUESTS TO LOCATE UNDERGROUND UTILITY FACILITIES. (CRIDER M) Amends the statute concerning the locating and marking of underground utility facilities (Indiana's 811 law) to allow a person responsible for: (1) a construction project; or (2) any other project or operation; that will involve an excavation or demolition operation to provide a voluntary design information notice to the association known as the Indiana Underground Plant Protection Service (association) before commencing preliminary engineering studies or construction planning activities in the project area that will be affected by the excavation or demolition. Provides that a design information notice must be received by the association at least 10 full working days but not more than 20 calendar days before the commencement of the preliminary engineering studies or construction planning activities. Specifies the information that must be included in a design information notice. Provides that not more than two design information notices for the same project and from the same person or source may be submitted in any given 180 day period. Requires the association, upon receiving a design information notice, to: (1) notify each utility operator that has underground facilities located in the affected project area; and (2) provide the person serving the design information notice a list of the identified operators. Requires an operator, upon receiving notice of a submitted design information notice, to contact the person serving the design information notice within 10 days and do one or more of the following: (1) Provide a description of, and location information for, the operator's underground facilities in the affected project area. (2) Allow the person serving the design information notice to inspect, at a location acceptable to the operator, drawings or other records for the operator's underground facilities in the affected project area. (3) Designate with temporary facility markers the location of the operator's underground facilities within the affected project area. Allows an operator to reject a design information notice: (1) based on security considerations; or (2) if producing the required description of, or location information for, the operator's affected underground facilities would place the operator at a competitive disadvantage; pending the operator's verification of the legitimacy of the design information notice. Provides that the submission of a design information notice does not relieve a person responsible for the excavation or demolition operation involved in the project from providing the notice required under the law before commencing the excavation or demolition operation. Removes a provision in the statute that requires a county recorder who receives an inquiry from a person seeking to provide the required notice of an excavation or demolition to refer the person to the association. |
