Sec. 11. (a) The department may create a local agency revolving fund from money appropriated under section 3(7) of this chapter for the purpose of maintaining a sufficient working balance in accounts established primarily to facilitate the matching of federal and local money for highway projects.
(b) The revolving fund balance must be maintained through reimbursement from a local unit for money used by that unit to match federal funds.
(c) If the local unit fails to reimburse the revolving fund, the department shall notify the local unit that the department has found the outstanding accounts receivable to be uncollectible.
(d) The attorney general shall review the outstanding accounts receivable and if the attorney general agrees with the department's assessment of the account's status, the attorney general shall certify to the auditor of state that the outstanding accounts receivable is uncollectible and request a transfer of funds as provided in subsection (e).
(e) Upon receipt of a certificate as specified in subsection (d), the auditor of state shall:
(1) immediately notify the delinquent local unit of the claim; and
(2) if proof of payment is not furnished to the auditor of state within thirty (30) days after the notification, transfer an amount equal to the outstanding accounts receivable to the department from the delinquent local unit's allocations from the motor vehicle highway account for deposit in the local agency revolving fund.
(f) Transfers shall be made under subsection (e) until the unpaid amount has been paid in full under the terms of the agreement. However, the agreement may be amended if both the department and the unit agree to amortize the transfer over a period not to exceed five (5) years.
(g) Money in the fund at the end of a fiscal year does not revert to the state general fund.
