Sec. 0.3. (a) If the department of local government finance determines that compliance with P.L.78-2004 would cause an unreasonable delay in the certification of budgets, tax rates, and tax levies in a county, the department of local government finance may certify budgets, tax rates, and tax levies for the county under IC 6-1.1-18-12, this chapter, and IC 12-29-2 as if P.L.78-2004 had not been enacted. However, if the department of local government finance takes this action, the affected county and the department of local government finance shall provide for an additional shortfall property tax levy and an additional budgeted amount in 2005 to replace the revenue lost in 2004 to community mental health centers as a result of certifying budgets, tax rates, and tax levies for the county under IC 6-1.1-18-12, this chapter, and IC 12-29-2 as if P.L.78-2004 had not been passed.
(b) The amount of the shortfall levy under subsection (a) shall be treated as an addition to the amount allowed in 2005 under IC 12-29-2, as amended by P.L.78-2004. The ad valorem property tax levy limits imposed by IC 12-29-2, as amended by P.L.78-2004, do not apply to ad valorem property taxes imposed under subsection (a). The shortfall levy imposed under this section may not be considered in computing ad valorem property tax levies under IC 12-29-2, as amended by P.L.78-2004, for property taxes first due and payable after 2005.
As added by P.L.220-2011, SEC.275.
