Synopsis: Local government administration. Conference committee report for EHB 1257.
Authorizes charter schools in Indianapolis that are sponsored by the mayor to do financings
through the Indianapolis bond bank. Authorizes charter schools other than those in Indianapolis
sponsored by the mayor to do financings through the state bond bank. Allows the Indianapolis
City-County Council to negotiate with property owners the amount of payments in lieu of taxes
(PILOTS) charged to properties that are partially or totally exempt from property taxation
because the properties are used to provide housing for low income persons under the federal low
income housing tax credit program. Provides that the PILOTS may not exceed the amount of
property taxes that would have been imposed if the properties were not subject to an exemption.
Reconciles conflicts within the low income housing program property tax exemption statute.
(This conference committee report: (1) authorizes charter schools in Indianapolis that are
sponsored by the mayor to do financings through the Indianapolis bond bank; and (2) authorizes
charter schools other than those in Indianapolis sponsored by the mayor to do financings
through the state bond bank. Makes a conforming amendment.)
