The public deposit insurance fund shall be maintained by the assessments payable by the depositories and by the collection of all claims created under IC 5-13-13 and by the receipt of all interest and other earnings of the insurance fund from any source.
    (c) All property in the public deposit insurance fund, the interest or income derived from it or through its use, and all property otherwise held by the board for depositories under this chapter is exempt from all taxes imposed by the state or any political subdivision.

books, documents, and papers filed with the board, and its official seal.

All persons dealing with the board may rely upon the certificates.
    (c) Each year, beginning in 2001 and ending in 2021, after the treasurer of state prepares the annual report required by IC 4-8.1-2-14, the secretary-investment manager shall determine:
        (1) the amount of interest earned by the public deposit insurance fund during the state fiscal year ending on the preceding June 30, after deducting:
            (A) all expenses and other costs of the board for depositories that were not paid from other sources during that state fiscal year; and

        STEP ONE: Add the amount determined under subsection (c)(1) to the amount determined under subsection (c)(2).

    (g) The pension distribution fund is established. The pension distribution fund shall be administered by the treasurer of state. The treasurer of state shall invest money in the pension distribution fund not currently needed to meet the obligations of the pension distribution fund in the same manner as other public money may be invested. Interest that accrues from these investments shall be deposited in the pension distribution fund. Money in the pension distribution fund at the end of a state fiscal year does not revert to the state general fund.
    (h) Subject to subsection (j), on June 30 and October 1 of each year, beginning in 2002 and ending in 2022, the auditor of state shall distribute in two (2) equal installments from the pension distribution fund to the fiscal officer of each unit of local government identified under subsection (d) the amount computed for that unit under subsection (e) in November of the preceding year.
    (i) Each unit of local government shall deposit distributions received under subsection (h) in the pension fund or funds identified by the secretary-investment manager and shall use those distributions to pay a portion of the obligations with respect to the pension fund or funds.
    (j) Before providing a check to the auditor of state under subsection (f)(2) in December of any year, the secretary-investment manager shall determine:
        (1) the total amount of payments made from the public deposit insurance fund under IC 5-13-13-3 after June 30, 2001;
        (2) the total amount of payments received by the board for depositories and deposited in the public deposit insurance fund under IC 5-13-13-3 after June 30, 2001; and

A check may not be provided under subsection (f)(2) and a distribution may not be made under subsection (f) in any subsequent calendar year if a study conducted by the board under section 7(b) of this chapter demonstrates that payment of the distribution would reduce the balance of the public deposit insurance fund to a level

insufficient to ensure the safekeeping and prompt payment of public funds to the extent they are not covered by insurance of any federal deposit insurance agency.

IC 5-13-12-5
Assessment rate; determination and fixing; assessment base; waiver or elimination of assessment rate
    
Sec. 5. (a) Subject to the limitations prescribed in this chapter, the board for depositories may fix the assessment rate to provide assets in the fund sufficient to equal the reserve for losses of the fund for the insurance of public funds on deposit in depositories. Effective on July 1, and January 1, of each year, and from time to time as the board determines necessary, the board shall determine and fix the fair and reasonable assessment rate for each classification of deposit, if any, to be used by depositories in determining the assessments. This determination shall be made by the board before or as soon as practicable after the applicable July 1, January 1, or other date established by the board. In fixing the rate, if any, the board shall consider the amount of public funds currently on deposit, the liabilities of the insurance fund, contingent and accrued, and the determination of the board on the amount of the reserve for losses of the insurance fund as set out in section 7(b) of this chapter. For any period, the maximum assessment rate that may be fixed by the board is two percent (2%). The board may lower or waive the assessment on any or all classifications of deposit if in its discretion it determines that a lower rate or waiver will not prevent the fund from attaining sufficient assets to equal the reserve for losses. Subject to the board's power to implement an assessment at any time by action by the board, if no action has been taken by the board for depositories fixing the assessment rate, if any, on public funds, the assessment rate is the same rate, if any. Whenever as of July 1, or January 1, or another date established by the board, the value of the assets in the fund equals or exceeds the reserve for losses, the board shall eliminate the assessment requirement for each classification of deposit.
    (b) During any period when an assessment rate is in effect, the assessment base for each depository of public funds shall be determined monthly. The assessment base must be equal to the sum total of all the minimum balances of each classification of public funds on deposit in each and all accounts during the month, the

minimum balance of each account being taken respectively as of the date on which it occurs. For purposes of this section, deposits that are federally insured are not considered public funds deposits in a depository. On or before the second day of each month in which an assessment rate is in effect, each depository shall compute the amount of the assessment due from it to the insurance fund on account of public funds on deposit with it during the preceding month. The amount of the monthly assessment, if any, is the product obtained by multiplying one-twelfth (1/12) times the assessment base for the month for which the assessment is being computed.
    (c) During the time the assessment rate on public funds has been waived or eliminated by the board for depositories, the respective depositories are not obligated to pay any assessment but shall continue to prepare and file the reports that would otherwise be required to be prepared and filed under this chapter.

Depositories; duty to file monthly report and pay assessment to insurance fund; failure to pay; forms
    
Sec. 6. (a) On or before the fifth day of each month, every depository that had public funds on deposit with it during the preceding month shall:
        (1) file with the board for depositories a certified report under oath showing for the preceding month the amount of the assessment base and the amount of the monthly assessment due the insurance fund, as determined under section 5 of this chapter; and
        (2) pay the insurance fund the amount of the monthly assessment it is required to certify. The board for depositories may waive all or part of the reporting requirement under this section during any period when the board does not levy an assessment.
    (b) If any depository fails to pay the insurance fund on or before the fifth day of each one (1) month period the full assessment due from it for the preceding one (1) month period on account of public funds deposited with it, the depository is liable for double the assessment. This amount may be recovered in any court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action by the state on the relation of the board for depositories.
    (c) The state board of accounts, with the approval of the attorney general, shall prepare and prescribe the forms of reports required by this section.

Insurance fund; management and operation; establishment of reserve; determination of profit distribution; investment; limitations; immunity of members      Sec. 7. (a) The board for depositories shall manage and operate the insurance fund. All expenses incident to the administration of the fund shall be paid out of the money accumulated in it subject to the direction of the board for depositories.
    (b) Effective January 1 and July 1 in each year, the board shall before those dates redetermine the amount of the reserve to be maintained by the insurance fund. The establishment or any change in the reserve for losses shall be determined by the board based on information the board considers, including but not limited to capital adequacy, liquidity, and asset quality, and a study to be made or updated by actuaries, economists, or other consultants based on the history of losses, earnings on the funds, conditions of the depositories, economic conditions affecting particular depositories or depositories in general, and any other factors that the board considers relevant in making its determination. The reserve determined by the board must be sufficient to ensure the safekeeping and prompt payment of public funds to the extent they are not covered by insurance of any federal deposit insurance agency.
    (c) At the end of each biennial period during which depositories have had public funds on deposit under this chapter and paid the assessments levied by the board, the board shall compute its receipts from assessments and all other sources and its expenses and losses and determine the profit derived from the operation of the fund for the period. Until the amount of the reserve for losses has been accumulated, all assessments levied for a biennial period shall be retained by the fund. The amount of the assessments, if any, levied by the board shall, to the extent the fund exceeds the reserve for losses at the end of a biennial period commencing July 1 of each odd-numbered year, be distributed to the depositories that had public funds on deposit during the biennial period in which the assessments were paid. The distribution shall be made to the respective depositories in the proportion that the total assessments paid by each depository during that period bears to the total assessments then paid by all depositories. A distribution to which any closed depository would otherwise be entitled shall be set off against any claim that the insurance fund may have against the closed depository.
    (d) The board may invest, reinvest, and exchange investments of the insurance fund in excess of the cash working balance in any of the following:
        (1) In bonds, notes, certificates, and other valid obligations of the United States, either directly or, subject to the limitations in subsection (e), in the form of securities of or other interests in an open-end no-load management-type investment company or investment trust registered under the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (15 U.S.C. 80a et seq.).

Industrial development obligation or credit enhancement obligation guarantees; limitations; conditions; claims, losses, or debts
    
Sec. 8. (a) The board for depositories, in making the industrial development obligation or credit enhancement obligation guarantees authorized under section 7(d)(6) of this chapter, shall comply with the following limitations:
        (1) A guarantee shall be made only of industrial development obligations or credit enhancement obligations for the purpose of retaining, retaining and expanding, or bringing significant employment into Indiana, as determined by the board under subdivision (3)(A).
        (2) Each industrial development obligation or credit enhancement obligation must be guaranteed not only by the board but also by the Indiana economic development corporation created by IC 5-28-3-1. Each guarantee must provide that in the event of a valid claim of loss by the lender, the lessor, or the issuer of the credit enhancement arising under the industrial development obligation or credit enhancement documents, the amount of the loss, up to two million dollars ($2,000,000), shall first be paid by the industrial development project guaranty fund created by IC 5-28-30-9, and only the remainder of the loss, if any, shall to the extent guaranteed be paid by the public deposit insurance fund. Neither fund is responsible for the amount due from the other under its guarantee.
        (3) The guarantee of the industrial development obligation or credit enhancement obligation by the board for depositories must be recommended by the Indiana economic development corporation. Subject to that recommendation, the board for depositories may make the guarantee if it determines:
            (A) that the guarantee creates a reasonable probability that loss in Indiana employment that would occur will be significantly reduced or that Indiana's employment will be

significantly expanded;
            (B) that the consequent reduction in employment loss or the expansion in employment will enhance the economic stability of the community or communities in the state where the borrower or lessee conducts its business;
            (C) that there is reasonable probability that the industrial development obligation will be repaid or satisfied or that the credit enhancement will be satisfied; and
            (D) that the industrial development obligation or credit enhancement obligation and guarantee are protected against loss and the borrower or lessee has agreed to pay the insurance fund a guarantee premium annually as provided in subdivision (6).
        (4) Protection against loss on the industrial development obligation or credit enhancement obligation guaranteed will be provided:
            (A) in loan transactions by:
                (i) a valid security agreement;
                (ii) mortgage;
                (iii) combination of (i) and (ii); or
                (iv) other document; and
            (B) in lease transactions by the guaranteed party's rights as owner of the leased property.
        (5) The term of the guarantee must not exceed twenty (20) years. The amount of the guarantee provided by the board, together with the corresponding guarantee to be provided by the industrial development project guaranty fund under subdivision (2), must not exceed:
            (A) the lesser of:
                (i) ninety percent (90%) of the unpaid balance of the obligation; or
                (ii) ninety percent (90%) of the appraised fair market value of the real estate;
            if the obligation is backed by real estate;
            (B) the lesser of:
                (i) seventy-five percent (75%) of the unpaid balance of the obligation; or
                (ii) seventy-five percent (75%) of the appraised fair market value of the equipment;
            if the obligation is backed by equipment; or
            (C) a weighted average of the figures derived under clauses (A)(ii) and (B)(ii) if the obligation is backed by real estate and equipment.
        (6) The guarantee premium to be received by the public deposit insurance fund for the guarantee must be at an annual percentage rate on the outstanding principal amount of the industrial development obligation or the credit enhancement obligation of not less, in the discretion of the board, than the market rate for guarantees, mortgage insurance rates, or letters of credit used for similar purposes at the time the guarantee is

made. However, the annual percentage rate must not exceed two percent (2%) of the outstanding principal obligation.
    (b) The following conditions apply to the making of bond bank obligation guarantees under section 7(d)(7) of this chapter:
        (1) Each bond bank obligation guaranteed must be secured by a pledge of securities of a qualified entity (as defined in IC 5-1.5-1-8) under an indenture of trust requiring an adequate debt reserve fund.
        (2) The board for depositories shall fix the one (1) time or annual charge to be paid by the bond bank for each guarantee in an amount considered by the board to be appropriate and consistent with the market rate for that guarantee, taking into consideration the terms of the indenture applicable to the bond bank obligation.
        (3) The board for depositories may agree to other terms for each guarantee that the secretary-investment manager certifies as being commercially reasonable and that the board, in its judgment, determines to be proper.
    (c) Any claim, loss, or debt arising out of any guarantee authorized by section 7(d)(6) or 7(d)(7) of this chapter is the obligation of the board for depositories payable out of the public deposit insurance fund only and does not constitute a debt, liability, or obligation of the state or a pledge of the faith and credit of the state. The document evidencing any guarantee must have on its face the words, "The obligations created by this guarantee (or other document as appropriate) do not constitute a debt, liability, or obligation of the state or a pledge of the faith and credit of the state but are obligations of the board for public depositories and are payable solely out of the public deposit insurance fund, and neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the state is pledged to the payment of any obligation hereunder.".
    (d) Any claim of loss by a lender or lessor under a guarantee authorized by section 7(d)(6) or 7(d)(7) of this chapter, at the time it is made in writing to the board, has priority against the fund on all claims made after that time.
