HB 1448 Indiana House · 2025 Regular Session

Supplemental payments to qualified cities.

Summary
Changes the effective date of the supplemental payments to qualified cities statute. Requires the state comptroller to distribute annual supplemental payments to qualified cities, that were not previously paid, using money sourced from a combination of: (1) amounts to be deducted from the amount payable to Gary under the disposition of tax revenue statute; and (2) money appropriated by the general assembly. Requires the city of Gary to repay to the state the amounts the state appropriates for the supplemental payments, once the total amount of supplemental payments has been made to qualified cities, through continued monthly deduction of Gary wagering tax, and until the full amount appropriated by the state is repaid.

MODERATE
This bill updates the effective date for supplemental gaming revenue payments to three cities (East Chicago, Hammond, and Michigan City) from July 1, 2024 to July 1, 2025. It also removes a provision that would have allowed these payments to continue through 2039 and adds a new section addressing unpaid supplemental payments from fiscal years 2022-2025. The changes clarify when these financial adjustments take effect and ensure back payments are properly calculated and distributed.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed by removing the 2039 expiration date provision and adding specific provisions for recovering unpaid supplemental payments from prior fiscal years (2022-2025).
