Sec. 28. (a) If the budget and estimate filed in the auditor's office of the county in any year shows an anticipated deficiency, the amount of the deficiency shall be set out in the copy of the budget and estimate filed, and the board shall request that the fiscal body of the county appropriate sufficient funds and levy a sufficient tax rate on the taxable property of the county to meet the deficiency. The county auditor shall, upon the basis of the request, compute the amount of money necessary to be appropriated and the amount of tax levy necessary to be made on the taxable property of the county to meet the estimated deficiency in the anticipated hospital funds for the ensuing calendar year. The auditor shall place the tax levy before the county fiscal body at the fiscal body's annual budget meeting in September of the same year the request is filed.
(b) The county fiscal body shall place the amount of the anticipated deficiency in the county budget for the next calendar year and shall levy a sufficient tax on all taxable property in the county to meet the anticipated deficiency. However, the tax rate fixed by the county fiscal body in any one (1) year may not exceed three and thirty-three hundredths cents ($0.0333) on each one hundred dollars ($100) of taxable property in the county. The levy is known as the hospital aid tax.
