Sec. 18. (a) As used in this section, "capital improvement board" refers to a capital improvement board established under IC 36-10-9.

(b) To qualify for an investment under this section, the capital improvement board must apply to the treasurer of state in the form and manner required by the treasurer. As part of the application, the capital improvement board shall submit a plan for its use of the investment proceeds and for the repayment of the capital improvement board's obligation to the treasurer. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of each application, the treasurer shall consider the application and review its accuracy and completeness.

(c) If the capital improvement board makes an application under subsection (b) and the treasurer approves the accuracy and completeness of the application and determines that there is an adequate method of payment for the capital improvement board's obligations, the treasurer of state shall invest or reinvest funds that are held by the treasurer and that are available for investment in obligations issued by the capital improvement board for the purposes of the capital improvement board in calendar years 2009, 2010, and 2011. The investment may not exceed nine million dollars ($9,000,000) per calendar year for 2009, 2010, and 2011.

(d) The treasurer of state shall determine the terms of each investment and the capital improvement board's obligation, which must include the following:

(1) Subject to subsections (f) and (g), the duration of the capital improvement board's obligation, which must be for a term of ten (10) years with an option for the capital improvement board to pay its obligation to the treasurer early without penalty.

(2) Subject to subsections (f) and (g), the repayment schedule of the capital improvement board's obligation, which must provide that no payments are due before January 1, 2013.

(3) A rate of interest to be determined by the treasurer.

(4) The amount of each investment, which may not exceed the maximum amounts established for the capital improvement board by this section.

(5) Any other conditions specified by the treasurer.

(e) The capital improvement board may issue obligations under this section by adoption of a resolution and, as set forth in IC 5-1-14, may use any source of revenue to satisfy the obligation to the treasurer of state under this section. This section constitutes complete authority for the capital improvement board to issue obligations to the treasurer. If the capital improvement board fails to make any payments on the capital improvement board's obligation to the treasurer, the amount payable shall be withheld by the auditor of state from any other money payable to the capital improvement board. The amount withheld shall be transferred to the treasurer to the credit of the capital improvement board.

(f) Subject to subsection (g), if all principal and interest on the obligations issued by the capital improvement board under this section in calendar year 2009, are paid before July 1, 2015, the term of the obligations issued by the capital improvement board to the treasurer of state in calendar year 2010 is extended until 2025. The treasurer of state shall discharge any remaining unpaid interest on the obligation issued by the capital improvement board to the treasurer of state in 2009, if the capital improvement board submits payment of the principal amount to the treasurer of state before the stated final maturity of that obligation.

(g) This subsection applies if the capital improvement board before July 1, 2015, adopts a resolution:

(1) to establish a bid fund to be used to assist the capital improvement board, the Indianapolis Convention and Visitors Association (VisitIndy), or the Indiana Sports Corporation in securing conventions, sporting events, and other special events; and

(2) to designate that principal and interest payments that would otherwise be made on the obligation issued by the capital improvement board under this section in calendar year 2010 shall instead be deposited in the bid fund.

If the requirements of subdivisions (1) and (2) are satisfied and the capital improvement board deposits in the bid fund amounts equal to the principal and interests payments that would otherwise be made under the repayment schedule on the obligations issued by the capital improvement board under this section in calendar year 2010, the capital improvement board is not required to make those principal and interests payments to the treasurer of state at the time required under the repayment schedule. The amounts must be deposited in the bid fund not later than the time the principal and interest payments would otherwise be due to the treasurer of state under the repayment schedule. The state board of accounts shall examine the bid fund under IC 5-11-1 to determine the amount of deposits made to the bid fund under this subsection and to ensure that the money deposited in the bid fund is used only for purposes authorized by this subsection. To the extent that the capital improvement board does not deposit in the bid fund an amount equal to a payment of principal and interest that would otherwise be due under the repayment schedule on the obligations issued by the capital improvement board under this section in calendar year 2010, the capital improvement board must make that payment of principal and interest to the treasurer of state as provided in this section. If the capital improvement board deposits in the bid fund amounts equal to the payments of principal and interest that would otherwise be due under the repayment schedule on the obligations issued by the capital improvement board under this section in calendar year 2010, the capital improvement board is only required to repay to the treasurer of state the principal amount of the obligation.
