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.

HB1519INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT ZONE UTILITY SERVICE. (VANNATTER H) Provides that facilities used by a wastewater utility in the collection or treatment of wastewater constitute "eligible infrastructure" for purposes of the law providing a property tax exemption to a person who invests in eligible infrastructure located in an infrastructure development zone. Authorizes a public utility that provides water utility service to petition the utility regulatory commission (IURC) for approval of a plan (plan) to develop a future source of water source supply. Requires the IURC to approve the plan if the IURC finds that the plan is reasonable and prudent for the provision of safe and reliable service. Provides that the timetable to place the future source of water supply into service may not exceed 15 years from the date on which the plan is submitted. Provides that after the utility's plan is approved, the IURC shall for ratemaking purposes add the utility's actual cost in developing the future source of water supply to the value of the utility's property. Provides that if the utility's actual cost exceeds the cost presented to the IURC, the additional costs shall be included once the source of water supply is in service if the IURC finds that the additional costs were prudently incurred. Provides that if the utility's petition is approved and the utility does not place the future source of water supply into service before the date set forth in the utility's timetable: (1) the ratemaking treatment of the utility's actual costs does not apply, unless the utility obtains the IURC's approval for amendment of the utility's plan to extend the timetable; and (2) the IURC shall establish a refund procedure to restore to ratepayers all payments that the public utility collected for costs for developing the future source of water supply, with interest, and shall remove the value added for ratemaking purposes to the utility's property for those costs. Provides that upon request by a water or wastewater utility, the IURC may allow, but may not require, the utility to establish a customer assistance program that: (1) uses state or federal infrastructure funds; or (2) provides financial relief to residential customers who qualify for income related assistance. Specifies that a customer assistance program that affects rates and charges for service is not discriminatory for purposes of any law regulating rates and charges for service. Provides that a water or wastewater utility that is requested to extend utility service to an infrastructure development zone may petition the IURC for approval of the requested extension of service. Provides that if the utility's petition is approved, the IURC shall in future general rate cases approve rate schedules that include a surcharge payable by customers located in the geographic area within the jurisdiction of the governmental entity that requested the extension of service. Amends the statute concerning infrastructure improvement charges for eligible water and wastewater utilities to: (1) change the definition of "eligible infrastructure improvements" with respect to municipally owned utilities and not-for-profit utilities; and (2) specify that the adjustment of an eligible utility's basic rates and charges to provide for the recovery of infrastructure improvement costs shall be calculated as a monthly fixed charge based upon meter size. Allows a public water utility to seek to include customer lead service line improvements as eligible infrastructure improvements for purposes of the statute concerning infrastructure improvement charges for water and wastewater utilities. Provides that the statute governing public works projects by political subdivisions does not apply to a project involving the extension or installation of utility infrastructure by a private developer of land if certain conditions are met.

SB505RECORDING OF DOCUMENTS. (BRAY R) Changes the amounts and distribution of recording fees. Sets a statutory fee for bulk form copies of 10 cents per copy of a recorded document and 10 cents per recorded document for a copy of the indices. Allows a fee set by ordinance in an amount of up to 20 cents per copy and per recorded document if the county executive finds that the costs incurred by the county recorder exceed the amount of the statutory fee. Requires a recipient of bulk form copies (bulk user) to enter into a contract with the county recorder as a prerequisite to receiving bulk form copies. Allows a bulk user that meets certain requirements to charge its customers a fee for using bulk form copies but not sell or transfer copies of recorded documents to another party. Adds the Uniform Real Property Electronic Recording Act that provides, effective January 1, 2018, that for purposes of recording: (1) an electronic document satisfies any legal requirement for an original paper document or other medium; and (2) an electronic signature satisfies a legal requirement that a document must be signed, notarized, acknowledged, or verified. Creates the electronic recording commission to adopt standards before January 1, 2018, to implement the Uniform Real Property Electronic Recording Act. Provides that a recorded memorandum of contract serves as evidence of and provides notice of the existence of the contract. Replaces, throughout IC 36, gender specific words with gender neutral words.

SB515VARIOUS TAX MATTERS. (HERSHMAN B) Provides and modifies sales and use tax exemptions. Provides an income tax deduction for certain amounts a taxpayer included as an item of income in a prior tax year. Specifies that, in determining an Indiana net operating loss deduction, certain modifications to adjusted gross income are not to be applied. Provides that certain professional sports team members or race team members are subject to the local income tax, and that in Marion County this local income tax revenue: (1) must be deposited in a dedicated fund established by its capital improvement board; and (2) is not captured by the Marion County professional sports development area. (Under current law, a county's local income tax applies only to residents of the county and to nonresidents who have their principal place of business or employment in the county.) Adds exemptions to certain taxes in connection with an NBA All-Star game and NBA related events when held in Indiana. Provides that a return under the financial institutions tax is due one month after the taxpayer's federal tax return is due. Creates a three month window during which an owner of an aircraft that is located in another state may register in Indiana without paying the difference in the sales tax paid to that state at its rate and the Indiana use tax rate. Provides that the department of state revenue may collect debts of a local unit of government through a tax refund set off program. Requires the legislative services agency to conduct a study concerning the correlation between employment growth and the statutory tax relief realized by C corporations during the period 2011 through 2016. Makes technical corrections.
