Sec. 10. (a) This section applies only to an obligation described in section 8 of this chapter. This section does not apply to bonded indebtedness or lease rental agreements for which the school corporation:
(1) after June 30, 2008, makes a preliminary determination as described in IC 6-1.1-20-3.1 or IC 6-1.1-20-3.5 or a decision as described in IC 6-1.1-20-5; or
(2) in the case of bonds or lease rental agreements not subject to IC 6-1.1-20-3.1, IC 6-1.1-20-3.5, or IC 6-1.1-20-5, adopts a resolution or ordinance authorizing the bonds or lease rental agreement after June 30, 2008.
(b) The department of local government finance may not approve a school corporation's proposed lease rental agreement or bond issue to finance the construction of additional classrooms unless the school corporation first:
(1) establishes that additional classroom space is necessary; and
(2) conducts a feasibility study, holds public hearings, and hears public testimony on using a twelve (12) month school term (instead of the nine (9) month school term (as defined in IC 20-30-2-7)) rather than expanding classroom space.
(c) A taxpayer may petition for judicial review of the final determination of the department of local government finance under this section. The petition must be filed in the tax court not more than thirty (30) days after the department of local government finance enters its order under this section.
