Sec. 16. (a) This section applies to obligations that are:
(1) issued after June 30, 2008, by a local issuing body; and
(2) payable from ad valorem property taxes, special benefit taxes on property, or tax increment revenues derived from property taxes;
including obligations that are issued under a statute that permits the bonds to be issued without complying with any other law or otherwise expressly exempts the bonds from the requirements of this section.
(b) An agreement for the issuance of obligations must provide for the payment of principal and interest on the obligations in nearly equal payment amounts and at regular designated intervals over the maximum term of the obligations except to the extent that:
(1) interest for a particular repayment period has been paid from the proceeds of the obligations under section 6 of this chapter; or
(2) the local issuing body authorizes a different payment schedule to:
(A) maintain substantially equal payments, in the aggregate, in any period in which the local issuing body pays the interest and principal on outstanding obligations;
(B) provide for the payment of principal on the obligations in amounts and at intervals that will produce an aggregate amount of principal payments greater than or equal to the aggregate amount that would otherwise be paid as of the same date;
(C) provide for level principal payments over the term of the obligations, in order to reduce total interest costs;
(D) with respect to obligations wholly or partially payable from tax increment revenues derived from property taxes, provide for the payment of principal and interest in varying amounts over the term of the obligations as necessary due to the variation in the amount of tax increment revenues available for those payments; or
(E) provide for a repayment schedule that will result in the same or a lower amount of interest being paid on obligations that would be issued using nearly equal payment amounts.
As added by P.L.146-2008, SEC.31. Amended by P.L.182-2009(ss), SEC.64.
