SOURCE: IC 4-10-15-0.5; (09ss1)IN0001.1.1. -->     SECTION 1. IC 4-10-15-0.5 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE UPON PASSAGE]: Sec. 0.5. (a) As used in this section, "budget bill" has the meaning set forth in IC 4-12-1-2.
    (b) Subject to subsection (e), if the general assembly has not before the end of a state fiscal year adopted a budget bill that applies to the following state fiscal year, the amount of the appropriations or actual allotments (if less), as determined by the budget director in consultation with the budget committee, for each specific item in the enacted budget bill that applies to the state fiscal year ending June 30 of that year is appropriated for the following state fiscal year.
     (c) If an enacted budget bill containing an appropriation that is continued under this section specifies:
        (1) a grant amount, distribution amount, or allocation amount for appropriated funds (or a formula for determining those amounts);

---

        (2) any eligibility criteria for a grant or distribution of appropriated funds; or
        (3) a use or purpose for appropriated funds;
those amounts (or formulas for determining those amounts), eligibility criteria, and uses or purposes apply to the corresponding appropriation continued by this section.
     (d) If an enacted budget bill containing an appropriation that is continued under this section authorizes augmentation of a particular appropriated amount, the corresponding appropriation continued by this section may be augmented under the same conditions.
     (e) If appropriations are continued under this section for the state fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009, the amount of the appropriations is proportionally increased (as determined by the budget director in consultation with the budget committee) to account for the state replacement of certain property tax levies with state funding under P.L.146-2008 for only the period beginning January 1, 2009, and ending June 30, 2009, rather than for the entire state fiscal year.
    (f) The subsequent adoption of a budget bill that applies to a state fiscal year for which appropriations are continued under this section shall supersede the continuation of appropriations under this section.
