Section 16-22-6-32 - Tax levy(a) The county fiscal body of a county that has entered into a lease under this chapter shall annually levy a tax sufficient to produce, with other funds available, funds sufficient to pay the lease rental provided to be paid from taxes.(b) Net revenues of the hospital of which the leased building is a part shall, if any of the lease rental is payable from taxes, be transferred to a fund used for the payment of the lease rental to be paid from taxes unless those revenues are required: (1) to pay lease rental under the lease;(2) to be retained as a reserve for that purpose; or(3) by the governing board of the hospital to be kept in reserve for additional construction, equipment, betterment, maintenance, or operation.(c) In fixing and determining the amount of the levy necessary to pay lease rental payable from taxes, the county fiscal body shall consider the amounts transferred from the net revenues of the hospital as provided in this chapter. This chapter does not relieve the county from the obligation to pay from taxes any lease rental payable from taxes if other funds are not available. The tax levies provided for in this chapter are reviewable by other bodies with authority to ascertain that the levies, with other funds available, are sufficient to meet the rental under the lease that is payable from taxes. Lease rental shall be paid semiannually to the authority following settlements of tax collections.Pre-1993 Recodification Citation: 16-12-20-20.
