Sec. 10. (a) Two million dollars ($2,000,000) in the industrial development fund does not revert to the state general fund but constitutes a revolving fund to be used exclusively for the purpose of this chapter. The corporation, subject to the approval of the state board of finance, may order the auditor of state to make an approved loan from the revolving fund to a qualified entity (including the purchase of bonds of the qualified entity), a small business investment company, or a minority enterprise small business investment company.
(b) A qualified entity may borrow funds from the corporation under this chapter and shall use the loan proceeds to institute and administer an approved industrial development program. The combined amount of outstanding loans to any one (1) program may not exceed one million dollars ($1,000,000). However, the one million dollar ($1,000,000) restriction in this subsection does not apply to an approved industrial development program in an economic development district established by a qualified entity under IC 6-1.1-39. A loan made under this chapter to an economic development commission is not a loan to or an obligation of the qualified entity that formed the commission, if the repayment of the loan is limited to a specified revenue source under section 15 of this chapter.
(c) A small business investment company or a minority enterprise small business investment company may use the loan proceeds for any lawful purpose.
(d) Notwithstanding any other law (including IC 5-1-11), the loan to a qualified entity under this section may be directly negotiated with the corporation without public sale of bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the qualified entity.
