(3) Provides that an expenditure rate may not exceed: (A) 1.25% in the case of counties other than Marion County or 2% in the case of Marion County; (B) 1% in the case of municipalities (other than municipalities in Marion County); and (C) 0.25% in the case of school corporations. (4) Provides that, if an expenditure rate is imposed by a municipality, the municipality shall receive the revenue from the tax, and specifies that the revenue may be used for any legal purpose of the municipality (including providing additional property tax credits). (5) Specifies that a school corporation may not adopt an expenditure rate unless: (A) the expenditure rate is approved by the voters of the school corporation in a local public question; or (B) the revenue from the expenditure rate is used to provide additional property tax credits. Provides that, if a school corporation's expenditure rate is approved by the voters, the revenue may be used for any legal purpose of the school corporation (including providing additional property tax credits). Provides that the maximum period for an expenditure rate approved by the voters of a school corporation is eight years, but that the expenditure rate may be reimposed by the school corporation if approved by the voters. (6) Provides that, if an expenditure rate is imposed by a county other than Marion County, the revenue shall be distributed as certified shares to civil taxing units in the county (other than municipalities and school corporations) on the basis of property tax levies. Specifies that, in counties other than Marion County, the revenue from the county's expenditure rate may be allocated to a public safety answering point or used to provide additional property tax credits before the remaining revenue is distributed as certified shares. (7) Provides that, the 2% maximum expenditure rate in Marion County consists of: (A) an expenditure rate of not more than 1%, to be distributed as certified shares to the county and to excluded cities in the county on the basis of property tax levies; and (B) an expenditure rate of not more than 1%, to be distributed as certified shares to the county and to townships in the county on the basis of property tax levies. (8) Specifies that in Marion County: (A) the revenue from the county's expenditure rate may be allocated to a public communications systems and computer facilities district, a public library, or a public transportation corporation, or for additional property tax credits before the remaining revenue is distributed as certified shares; and (B) revenue distributed as certified shares may be used for any legal purpose of the unit receiving the certified shares. (9) Provides that, after May 31, 2019, a political subdivision may not pledge for the payment of bonds, leases, or other obligations any tax revenue received under the current local income tax law (other than a special purpose rate). (10) Maintains the existing special purpose rates. (11) Provides that, after December 31, 2021, a local income tax rate imposed for transit purposes after approval in a local public question: (A) is a separate special purpose rate; and (B) is not part of the county's expenditure rate or considered in determining whether the county is imposing its maximum expenditure rate. (12) For property taxes due and payable in 2022 and thereafter, requires the department of local government finance to adjust each maximum property tax levy for which a levy freeze amount was applied under the existing local income tax law in 2021. (13) Authorizes a political subdivision to appeal to the department of local government finance for the authority to impose an additional local income tax rate if the political subdivision's expected local income tax distributions will be insufficient to pay obligations for which a pledge of revenue was made under the prior local income tax laws. (14) Specifies that the legislative council shall provide for the preparation and introduction of legislation in the 2020 session of the general assembly to correct cross references and make other changes to the Indiana Code, as necessary, to bring other provisions of the Indiana Code into conformity with this act. |

| HB1427 | LOCAL GOVERNMENT MATTERS. (LEONARD D) Provides that, if a political subdivision publishes or submits to the department of local government finance's (DLGF) computer gateway a notice that contains an error or omission that inaccurately reflects the tax rate, tax levy, or budget actually proposed or fixed by the political subdivision by an amount that is less than 0.1%, the notice is a valid notice and the DLGF shall correct the error or omission. Provides that the state board of accounts, instead of the budget agency, is to approve audits for regional development authorities and allows for private examiners to perform audits. Excludes political subdivisions that do not have the power to impose property taxes from the requirement to upload a digital copy of certain contracts on the Indiana transparency Internet web site. Specifies the deadlines for county auditors to submit property tax settlement and distribution information to the DLGF. Repeals the electronic digital signature act. Specifies the calculation of the acquisition cost of depreciable personal property acquired in like kind exchange for personal property tax purposes. Removes the provision in current law that requires the DLGF to be a party to any contract in which a county assessor employs professional appraisers as technical advisers for assessments. Provides that the standard contract to employ professional appraisers is void if: (1) the appraiser is not certified at the time the contract is executed; or (2) the DLGF subsequently revokes the appraiser's certification. Eliminates the permissive written demand to a county resident who is delinquent in the payment of personal property taxes during the period from May 10 to October 31. Changes the time period from at least 21 to 30 days for the county treasurer's notice of the sale of a mobile home. Makes the filing deadlines for property tax deductions applicable to mobile homes and manufactured homes that are not assessed as real property the same as the filing deadlines for property tax deductions applicable to real property. Amends the definition of "owner" (for purposes of the property tax statutes) to delete the provision specifying that an owner of tangible property includes the holder of a tenancy for a term of years. Requires county auditors to submit data on deductions applicable to the current tax year to the homestead property data base on or before March 15 of each year, in a manner prescribed by the DLGF. Specifies that if a penalty is imposed on a taxpayer for failing to declare on the taxpayer's tax return that the taxpayer is entitled to the exemption for business personal property, the county shall include the penalty on a property tax bill associated with the tax district in which the majority value of the taxpayer's business personal property within the county is located. Eliminates (effective retroactive to July 1, 2017) several property tax deduction and credit reapplication requirements that were added by HEA 1450-2017 concerning unmarried taxpayers who married, married taxpayers who divorced, and taxpayers who came to own their property jointly or as tenants in common with another individual. Provides that a person seeking a property tax exemption for property used for a charitable purpose may file an exemption application up to 30 days following the statutory deadline for the exemption application if the person pays a late filing fee. Makes changes to the time frame for the board of tax review to conduct a hearing and issue a determination. Requires that the budget notice that political subdivisions must publish on the DLGF's computer gateway must also include information concerning the percentage change between the current and proposed tax levies of each fund. Specifies that a political subdivision shall file the budget adopted by the political subdivision with the DLGF not later than five business days after the budget is adopted. Authorizes the DLGF to adopt rules for procedures related to local government budgeting. Specifies that the adoption, amendment, or repeal of such a rule by the DLGF may not take effect before March 1 or after July 31 of a particular year. Requires a political subdivision to adopt the needed changes to its budget, tax levy, or rate in a public meeting if the political subdivision's tax levy is increased by the DLGF to an amount that exceeds the amount originally advertised or adopted by the political subdivision. Provides for an extension of time to submit a city's budget in the case of a veto after October 1. Provides that Highland Township in Greene County may increase its maximum township property tax levy for 2020 and thereafter. Provides that Taylor Township in Greene County may increase its maximum township property tax levy and its maximum fire protection and emergency services property tax levy for 2020 and thereafter. Allows Green Township in Hancock County to increase its maximum levy for the township's general fund to offset the reduction in the maximum levy that occurred beginning in 2003 that was based on the township's actual levy (levy banked amount). Requires the DLGF to increase the North Harrison fire protection territory provider unit's maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy for purposes of IC 36-8-19 for property taxes due and payable in 2020 if a petition requesting an increase is filed. Provides that a civil taxing unit may not request permission to impose a property tax on account of revenue shortfalls, if the revenue shortfall preceded the most recent certified budget for the civil taxing unit by more than five years. Requires a statement in the county treasurer's notice of intention to sell mobile homes that the county treasurer will apply for a court judgment against the mobile homes for an amount that is set by the county executive and that includes collection expenses. Provides that whenever no bid is received on a mobile home, the taxpayer who is delinquent in the payment of taxes causing the tax sale maintains ownership of the mobile home and liability for the delinquent taxes. Repeals the statute providing for a county board of tax adjustment. Repeals provisions related to the county board of tax adjustment and the local budgeting process. Specifies that: (1) rules adopted by the DLGF for the appraisal of real property may not apply to any appraisal contemporaneously being conducted under a county's reassessment plan; and (2) rules adopted by the DLGF may first apply to the reassessment phase beginning in the following calendar year under a county's reassessment plan. Requires a county that enters into a contract for computer software and with a software provider to upload the contract to the Indiana transparency Internet web site. Specifies that for purposes of attributing the amount of a property tax deduction or exemption to the gross assessed value of a property: (1) a deduction or exemption that is specific to an improvement shall be applied only to the assessed value allocation pertaining to that improvement; and (2) to the extent that a deduction or exemption is not specific to an improvement, the deduction or exemption shall be applied in the order that will maximize the benefit of the deduction or exemption to the taxpayer. Provides that the county executive (instead of the DLGF) may cancel any property taxes assessed against real property owned by a county, township, city, town, or body corporate and politic under certain circumstances. Removes local income tax economic development |

| SB460 | BROADBAND DEVELOPMENT. (MESSMER M) Establishes the rural broadband fund for the purpose of awarding grants: (1) before August 1, 2019, under the existing statute governing grants for qualified broadband projects for unserved areas in Indiana; and (2) after July 31, 2019, under new procedures governing grants for eligible broadband projects for rural areas in Indiana. Requires the office of community and rural affairs (office) to establish procedures for the awarding of grants from the fund after July 31, 2019, by state agencies to eligible broadband service providers for eligible broadband projects in rural areas of Indiana. Provides that the procedures established by the office must establish specified priorities for the awarding of grants, based on the available Internet speeds in a particular area. Provides that the procedures established by the office may not permit the awarding of a grant from the fund for any proposed broadband project in an area in which eligible broadband service is available. Provides that the procedures established by the office may not permit the office to award a grant from the fund for any project in a rural area for which funding has been allocated from certain federal funding programs. Provides that the procedures established by the office must establish a system of priorities for awarding grants, weighted as determined by the office in guidelines adopted by the office, that gives preference to eligible broadband projects that meet certain specified criteria. Requires an eligible broadband service provider awarded a grant to sign with the office a grant agreement that: (1) outlines a start date and an end date for completion of the project; and (2) conditions the release of any grant funds on the progressive completion of the project. Beginning in 2020, requires the office to submit to the general assembly an annual report on the awarding of grants under these procedures during the most recent state fiscal year. Provides that every three years, beginning in 2021, the state board of accounts shall conduct an audit of the awarding of grants from the fund during the most recent three state fiscal years. Provides that a communications service provider that holds a certificate of territorial authority shall be designated as a public utility solely as that term is used in federal law that allows a state to exempt a public utility from the federal law's requirement that the state must charge fair market value for the use of real property acquired by the state using federal transportation funding. Provides that the department of transportation (INDOT) may not charge an access rate or any other recurring charge or recurring fee for communications infrastructure that is located before May 1, 2019, in any rights-of-way that are owned or controlled by INDOT.
