        (5) make payments permitted under subsection (I); (i); and
        (6) make distributions of distributive shares to the civil taxing units of a county.
    (b) The county auditor shall retain from the payments of the county's certified distribution, an amount equal to the revenue lost, if any, due to the increase of the homestead credit providing property tax relief within the county under section 13 of this chapter. This money shall be distributed to the civil taxing units and school corporations of the county as though they were property tax collections and in such a manner that no civil taxing unit or school corporation shall suffer a net revenue loss due to the allowance of an increased homestead credit. the property tax relief.
    (c) The county auditor shall retain the amount, if any, specified by the county fiscal body for a particular calendar year under subsection (I), (i), IC 36-7-15.1-17.5 , IC 36-8-15-19 (b), and IC 36-9-4-42 from the county's certified distribution for that same calendar year. The county auditor shall distribute amounts retained under this subsection to the county.
    (d) All certified distribution revenues that are not retained and distributed under subsections (b) and (c) shall be distributed to the civil taxing units of the county as distributive shares.
    (e) The amount of distributive shares that each civil taxing unit in a county is entitled to receive during a month equals the product of the following:
        (1) The amount of revenue that is to be distributed as distributive shares during that month; multiplied by
        (2) A fraction. The numerator of the fraction equals the total property taxes that are first due and payable to the civil taxing unit during the calendar year in which the month falls, plus, for a county, an amount equal to the property taxes imposed by the

county in 1999 for the county's welfare fund and welfare administration fund and, after December 31, 2002, an amount equal to the property taxes imposed by the county in 2002 for the county family and children's fund.

    (g) Notwithstanding subsection (e), if a civil taxing unit of an adopting county does not impose a property tax levy that is first due and payable in a calendar year in which distributive shares are being distributed under this section, that civil taxing unit is entitled to receive a part of the revenue to be distributed as distributive shares under this section within the county. The fractional amount such a civil taxing unit is entitled to receive each month during that calendar year equals the product of the following:
        (1) The amount to be distributed as distributive shares during that month; multiplied by
        (2) A fraction. The numerator of the fraction equals the budget of that civil taxing unit for that calendar year. The denominator of the fraction equals the aggregate budgets of all civil taxing units of that county for that calendar year.
    (h) If for a calendar year a civil taxing unit is allocated a part of a county's distributive shares by subsection (g), then the formula used in subsection (e) to determine all other civil taxing units' distributive shares shall be changed each month for that same year by reducing the amount to be distributed as distributive shares under subsection (e) by the amount of distributive shares allocated under subsection (g) for that same month. The state board of tax commissioners shall make any adjustments required by this subsection and provide them to the appropriate county auditors.
    (I) (i) Notwithstanding any other law, a county fiscal body may pledge revenues received under this chapter to the payment of bonds or lease rentals to finance a qualified economic development tax project under IC 36-7-27 in that county or in any other county if the county fiscal body determines that the project will promote significant opportunities for the gainful employment or retention of employment of the county's residents.

            STEP ONE: Determine the total amount of revenues that were distributed as distributive shares during that month in calendar

year 1995.
            STEP TWO: Determine the total amount of revenue that the department has certified as distributive shares for that month under section 17 of this chapter for the calendar year.
            STEP THREE: Subtract the STEP ONE result from the STEP TWO result.
            STEP FOUR: If the STEP THREE result is less than or equal to zero (0), multiply the STEP TWO result by the ratio established under subdivision (1).
            STEP FIVE: Determine the ratio of:
                (A) the maximum permissible property tax levy under IC 6-1.1-18.5 and IC 6-1.1-18.6 for each civil taxing unit for the calendar year in which the month falls, plus, for a county, an amount equal to the property taxes imposed by the county in 1999 for the county's welfare fund and welfare administration fund plus the property taxes imposed by the county in 2002 for the county family and children's fund; divided by
(B) the sum of the maximum permissible property tax levies under IC 6-1.1-18.5 and IC  6-1.1-18.6 for all civil taxing units of the county during the calendar year in which the month falls, and an amount equal to the property taxes imposed by the county in 1999 for the county's welfare fund and welfare administration fund plus the property taxes imposed by the county in 2002 for the county family and children's fund.
            STEP SIX: If the STEP THREE result is greater than zero (0), the STEP ONE amount shall be distributed by multiplying the STEP ONE amount by the ratio established under subdivision (1).
            STEP SEVEN: For each taxing unit determine the STEP FIVE ratio multiplied by the STEP TWO amount.
            STEP EIGHT: For each civil taxing unit determine the difference between the STEP SEVEN amount minus the product of the STEP ONE amount multiplied by the ratio established under subdivision (1).

    (b) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (h) and section 15 of this chapter, the amount of the certified distribution that the county and each city or town in a county is entitled to receive during May and November of each year equals the product of the following:
        (1) The amount of the certified distribution for that month; multiplied by
        (2) A fraction. The numerator of the fraction equals the sum of the following:
            (A) Total property taxes that are first due and payable to the county, city, or town during the calendar year in which the month falls; plus
            (B) For a county, an amount equal to the property taxes imposed by the county in 1999 for the county's welfare fund and welfare administration fund and an amount equal to the property taxes imposed by the county in 2002 for the county family and children's fund.

            (A) one-half (1/2) of the taxes that the department estimates will be paid under this article during the year; minus
            (B) the sum of all the guaranteed distributions, before the subtraction of all state welfare allocations under subsection (a), for all taxing units in all counties plus the bank personal property taxes to be received by all taxing units in all counties, as determined under subsection (b)(2) for the year.
        STEP TWO: Determine the quotient of:
            (A) the amount received under IC 6-5-10 and IC 6-5-11 in 1989 by all taxing units in the county; divided by

            (B) the sum of the amounts used in STEP ONE (A) for all taxing units located in the county.
        STEP TWO: Determine the product of:
            (A) the amount determined in STEP ONE; multiplied by
            (B) the supplemental distribution for the county, as determined in subsection (c), STEP FOUR.
    (e) The county auditor shall distribute the guaranteed and supplemental distributions received under subsection (a) to the taxing units in the county at the same time that the county auditor makes the semiannual distribution of real property taxes to the taxing units.
