Sec. 1. (a) On or before June 20th and December 20th of each year, the county auditor and the county treasurer shall meet in the office of the county auditor. Before each semi-annual meeting, the county auditor shall complete an audit of the county treasurer's monthly reports required under IC 36-2-10-16. In addition, the county auditor shall:
(1) prepare a certificate of settlement on the form prescribed by the state board of accounts; and
(2) deliver the certificate of settlement to the county treasurer at least two (2) days before each semi-annual meeting.
(b) If any county treasurer or auditor refuses, neglects, or fails to distribute tax money due to a taxing unit on or before:
(1) the fifty-first day immediately following each property tax due date under IC 6-1.1-22-9 or IC 6-1.1-37-10, whichever applies; or
(2) the deadline for a distribution requested under IC 5-13-6-3;
the county treasurer and auditor shall pay to the taxing unit from the county general fund interest on the taxing unit's undistributed tax money if the county treasurer and auditor invest undistributed tax money in an interest bearing investment.
(c) The amount of interest to be paid if subsection (b)(1) applies equals the taxing unit's proportionate share of the actual amount of interest which is received from investments of the undistributed tax money from the fifty-second day immediately following the property tax due date under IC 6-1.1-22-9 or IC 6-1.1-37-10, whichever applies, to the date that the tax money is distributed.
(d) The amount of interest to be paid if subsection (b)(2) applies equals the taxing unit's proportionate share of the actual amount of interest that is received from investments of the undistributed tax money from the date the county treasurer receives the taxing unit's request for funds under IC 5-13-6-3(b) to the date the tax money is distributed.
