13-16-1-7. Adjustments to Environmental Management Permit Operation Fund

Sec. 7. (a) Before billing a person under IC 13-18-20, IC 13-20-21, or IC 13-22-12, the commissioner shall review the money in the environmental management permit operation fund established under IC 13-15-11 and make the following adjustments:
(1) If the balance of the fund collected under IC 13-18-20, once obligated expenditures are subtracted from the balance, exceeds two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) as of July 1 each year, the commissioner shall adjust the annual fee schedule to bill an amount, in the aggregate, equivalent to the fee schedule amount, less the excess over two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000). Adjustments to the individual bills must be proportional to the applicable fee divided by the total amount required by all the applicable fees. Adjustments to the annual fees apply only to the next assessment year and then revert to the amounts established under IC 13-18-20.
(2) If the balance of the fund collected under IC 13-20-21, once obligated expenditures are subtracted from the balance, exceeds two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) as of July 1 each year, the commissioner shall adjust the annual fee schedule to bill an amount, in the aggregate, equivalent to the fee schedule amount, less the excess over two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000). Adjustments to the individual bills must be proportional to the applicable fee divided by the total amount required by all the applicable fees. Adjustments to the annual fees apply only to the next assessment year and then revert to the amounts established under IC 13-20-21.
(3) If the balance of the fund collected under IC 13-22-12, once obligated expenditures are subtracted from the balance, exceeds two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) as of July 1 each year, the commissioner shall adjust the annual fee schedule to bill an amount, in the aggregate, equivalent to the fee schedule amount, less the excess over two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000). Adjustments to the individual bills must be proportional to the applicable fee divided by the total amount required by all the applicable fees. Adjustments to the annual fees apply only to the next assessment year and then revert to the amounts established under IC 13-22-12.
(b) The appropriate board may adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 and IC 13-14-9 to adjust the amount of the fund balance at which the commissioner is required to adjust individual bills under subsection (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(3). However, the amount of the fund balance established by rule under this subsection may not exceed two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000).
