SECTION 1. IC 36-9-4-13 IS AMENDED TO READ AS
FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE UPON PASSAGE]: Sec. 13. (a) After the
creation of a public transportation corporation, territory may be added
to the taxing district of the corporation only in accordance with this
section.
(b) Notwithstanding any other law, if the municipality finalizes an
annexation or disannexation of territory, the boundaries of the taxing
district of the corporation change so as to remain coterminous with the
new boundaries of the municipality. Such a change takes effect when
the annexation or disannexation takes effect. IC 6-1.1-18.5-3(a) STEP
THREE or IC 6-1.1-18.5-3(b) STEP THREE, as appropriate,
applies in the determination of the maximum permissible levy of
the corporation without filing of an appeal under IC 6-1.1-18.5-12,
if the boundaries of the corporation are changed as described in
this subsection.
(c) Upon written request by a majority of:
(1) the resident freeholders in a platted subdivision; or
(2) the owners of any unplatted lands;
in the same county as a public transportation corporation but not within
a municipality, the board of directors of the corporation may, by
resolution, incorporate all or part of the platted subdivision or unplatted
lands into the taxing district. Such a request must be signed and
certified as correct by the resident freeholders or landowners making
the request, and the original must be preserved in the records of the
board. The resolution of the board incorporating an area into the taxing
district must be in writing and must include an accurate description of
that area. A certified copy of the resolution, signed by the chairman and
secretary of the board, together with a map showing the boundaries of
the taxing district and the location of the additional areas, shall be
delivered to the auditor of the county within which the corporation is
located and shall be properly indexed and kept in the permanent
records of the offices of the auditor.
(d) Upon written request by ten (10) or more resident freeholders of
a platted subdivision or unplatted territory in the same county as a
public transportation corporation but not within a municipality, the
board of directors of the corporation may define the limits of an area
that:
(1) is within the county;
(2) includes the property of the freeholders; and
(3) is to be considered for incorporation into the taxing district.
Notice of the defining of the area by the board, and notice of the
location and limits of the area, must be given by publication in
accordance with IC 5-3-1. The area may then be incorporated into the
taxing district upon request, in the manner prescribed by subsection (c).
(e) Property in territory added to the taxing district under subsection
(c) or (d) is, as a condition of the special benefits it subsequently
receives, liable for its proportion of all taxes subsequently levied by the
public transportation corporation. The proportion of taxation shall be
determined in the same manner as when territory is annexed by a
municipality.
