Legislative findings of fact; purpose
     Sec. 2. (a) The legislature makes the following findings of fact:
        (1) That there currently exists in certain areas of the state critical conditions of unemployment, inadequate drinking water, inadequate wastewater and storm water management, or environmental pollution, including water pollution, air pollution, sewage and solid waste, radioactive waste, thermal pollution, radiation contamination, and noise pollution, and that these conditions may well exist, from time to time, in other areas of the state.
        (2) That in some areas of the state such conditions are chronic and of long standing and that without remedial measures they may become so in other areas of the state.
        (3) That economic insecurity due to unemployment, inadequate drinking water, inadequate wastewater and storm water management, or environmental pollution is a menace to the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of not only the people of the affected areas but of the people of the entire state.
        (4) That involuntary unemployment and its resulting burden of indigency falls with crushing force upon the unemployed worker and ultimately upon the state in the form of public assistance and unemployment compensation.
        (5) That security against unemployment and the resulting spread

of indigency and economic stagnation in the areas affected can best be provided by:
            (A) the promotion, attraction, stimulation, rehabilitation, and revitalization of industrial development projects, rural development projects, mining operations, and agricultural operations that involve the processing of agricultural products;
            (B) the promotion and stimulation of international exports; and

        (7) That there is a need to stimulate a larger flow of private investment funds from commercial banks, investment bankers, insurance companies, other financial institutions, and individuals into such industrial development projects, rural development projects, mining operations, international exports, and agricultural operations that involve the processing of agricultural products in the state.
        (8) That the authority can encourage the making of loans or leases for creation or expansion of industrial development projects, rural development projects, mining operations, international exports, and agricultural operations that involve the processing of agricultural products, thus putting a larger portion of the private capital available in Indiana for investment to use in the general economic development of the state.
        (9) That the issuance of bonds of the authority to create a financing pool for industrial development projects and carrying out the purposes of IC 13-18-13 and IC 13-18-21 promoting a substantial likelihood of opportunities for:
            (A) gainful employment;

        will improve the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the people of the state and constitutes a public purpose for which the authority shall exist and operate.
        (10) That the issuance of bonds of the authority to create a funding source for the making of guaranteed participating loans will promote and encourage an expanding international exports market and international exports sales and will promote the general welfare of all of the people of Indiana by assisting Indiana businesses through stimulation of the expansion of international exports sales for Indiana products and services, especially those of small and medium-sized businesses, by providing financial assistance through the authority.
    (b) The Indiana finance authority shall exist and operate for the public purposes of:
        (1) promoting opportunities for gainful employment and business opportunities by the promotion and development of industrial development projects, rural development projects, mining operations, international exports, and agricultural operations that involve the processing of agricultural products, in any areas of the state;

        (3) promoting affordable farm credit and agricultural loan financing at interest rates that are consistent with the needs of borrowers for farming and agricultural enterprises;
        (4) preventing and remediating environmental pollution, including water pollution, air pollution, sewage and solid waste disposal, radioactive waste, thermal pollution, radiation contamination, and noise pollution affecting the health and well-being of the people of the state by:

    (e) A financing agreement approved under this section must provide for payments in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the bonds authorized for the financing of the industrial development project. However, interest payments for the anticipated construction period, plus a period of not more than one (1) year, may be funded in the bond issue. The term of a financing agreement may not exceed fifty (50) years from the date of any bonds issued under the financing agreement. However, a financing agreement does not terminate after fifty (50) years if a default under that financing agreement remains uncured, unless the termination is authorized by the terms of the financing agreement. If the authority retains an interest in the industrial development project, the financing agreement must require the user or the developer to pay all costs of maintenance, repair, taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, trustee's fees, and any other expenses relating to the industrial development projects, so that the authority will not incur any expenses on account of the industrial development projects other than those that are covered by the payments provided for in the financing agreement.

In

furtherance of this objective, the authority may do any of the following:
        (1) Establish eligibility standards for developers and users, without complying with IC 4-22-2. However, these standards have the force of law if the standards are adopted after a public hearing for which notice has been given by publication under IC 5-3-1.

        (3) Lease to a developer or user industrial development projects upon terms and conditions that the authority considers proper and, with respect to the lease:
            (A) charge and collect rents;
            (B) terminate the lease upon the failure of the lessee to comply with any of its obligations under the lease or otherwise as the lease provides; and
            (C) include in the lease provisions that the lessee has the option to renew the term of the lease for such periods and at such rents as may be determined by the authority or to purchase any or all of the industrial development projects to which the lease applies.
        (4) Lend money, upon such terms and conditions as the authority considers proper, to a developer or user under an installment purchase contract or loan agreement to:
            (A) finance, reimburse, or refinance the cost of an industrial development project; and
            (B) take back a secured or unsecured promissory note evidencing such a loan or a security interest in the industrial development project financed or refinanced with the loan.
        (5) Sell or otherwise dispose of any unneeded or obsolete industrial development project under terms and conditions determined by the authority.
        (6) Maintain, repair, replace, and otherwise improve or cause to be maintained, repaired, replaced, and otherwise improved any industrial development project owned by the authority.
        (7) Require any type of security that the authority considers reasonable and necessary.
        (8) Obtain or aid in obtaining property insurance on all industrial development projects owned or financed, or accept payment if any industrial development project property is damaged or destroyed.
        (9) Enter into any agreement, contract, or other instrument with respect to any insurance, guarantee, letter of credit, or other form of credit enhancement, accepting payment in such manner and form as provided in the instrument if a developer or user defaults, and assign any such insurance, guarantee, letter of credit, or other form of credit enhancement as security for

bonds issued by the authority.
        (10) Finance for eligible developers and users in connection with their industrial development projects:
            (A) the cost of their industrial development projects; and
            (B) in the case of a program funded from the proceeds of taxable bonds, working capital associated with the operation of such industrial development projects;
        in amounts determined to be appropriate by the authority.
        (11) Issue bonds to fund a program for financing multiple, identified or unidentified industrial development projects if the authority finds that issuance of the bonds will be of benefit to the health, safety, morals, or general welfare of the state and complies with the purposes and provisions of this chapter by promoting a substantial likelihood for:
            (A) creating opportunities for gainful employment;
            (B) creating business opportunities;
            (C) educational enrichment (including cultural, intellectual, scientific, or artistic opportunities);
            (D) the abatement, reduction, or prevention of pollution;
            (E) the removal or treatment of any substances in materials being processed that would otherwise cause pollution when used; or
            (F) promoting affordable and accessible child care.
The authority may by resolution approve the proposed taxable bond issue. The authority may use appropriations to create a debt service reserve fund for the purpose of allowing the authority to issue pooled bonds, either tax-exempt or taxable, for the construction or renovation of licensed child care facilities (or child care facilities that are in the process of being licensed) under the authority's industrial development project section.
    (b) As each unidentified industrial development project is identified for possible funding from a program under subsection (a)(11), the requirements of sections 17(a), 17(b), 17(c), and 17(e) of this chapter shall be complied with as a condition precedent to entering into a financing agreement for the funding of the industrial development project.
    (c) Bonds issued to fund a program under this section are not in any respect a general obligation of the state, nor are they payable in any manner from revenues raised by taxation.
    (d) Any resolution adopted to authorize the issuance of taxable bonds to fund a program under subsection (a)(11) may provide that the bonds are payable solely from:
        (1) revenues and receipts derived from the various financing agreements; or
        (2) the payments made under any other agreements to secure the obligations of the developers, users, related persons, or the authority.

All agricultural enterprises, rural development projects, and industrial development projects for which funds are advanced, loaned, or otherwise provided by the authority under this chapter or IC 5-28-31 must be in compliance with any land use, zoning, subdivision, and other laws of this state applicable to the land upon which the agricultural enterprise, rural development project, or industrial development project is located or is to be constructed, but a failure to comply with these laws does not invalidate any bonds issued to finance an agricultural enterprise, rural development project, or industrial development project.

Legislative findings; clean coal technology program; financing of clean coal technology projects; procedure; contributions from

beneficiaries
     Sec. 43. (a) In addition to the findings of fact set forth in section 2 of this chapter, the general assembly finds that:
        (1) the federal Clean Air Act, as implemented, will have a harmful and injurious effect on the state's coal industry, resulting in critical and chronic conditions of unemployment affecting the unemployed workers and their families and communities and, ultimately, the state;
        (2) there exists clean coal technology that, if successfully implemented, will increase the fortunes of the coal industry and, as a result, workers in the industry and their families and communities and, ultimately, the state; and
        (3) implementation of clean coal technology consistent with the findings of fact set forth in subdivisions (1) and (2) serves the public purposes of public health, welfare, safety, and economic development.
    (b) For purposes of this section, "political subdivision" has the meaning set forth in IC 36-1-2-13.
    (c) There is created within the authority a clean coal technology program. The authority shall manage the clean coal technology program with the advice of the lieutenant governor.
    (d) Subject to subsection (i), the authority is authorized and directed to issue revenue bonds, or to guarantee its revenue bonds, in an amount not to exceed forty million dollars ($40,000,000), under this chapter to finance clean coal technology projects, including all costs related to the financing. Subject to subsection (i), as an alternative to issuing revenue bonds, and notwithstanding any other law, the authority may guarantee revenue bonds issued by another body politic and corporate of the state or a political subdivision for these purposes. Revenue bonds or guarantees are payable solely from or secured by:
        (1) revenues from the clean coal technology projects;
        (2) contributions made by and to the authority for the clean coal technology program;
        (3) appropriations made by the general assembly; and
        (4) appropriations or pledges made by other bodies corporate and politic of the state and political subdivisions.
    (e) Notwithstanding any other law or provisions of this chapter, revenue bonds may be issued or guaranteed under this section by resolution of the authority. Subject to subsection (i), no other procedures or findings, including procedures or findings required under this chapter for revenue bonds or guarantees, are required to be followed. The terms of the revenue bonds or the guarantee must be set forth in the resolution in the discretion of the authority.
    (f) Bodies corporate and politic of the state and political subdivisions, including cities, towns, and counties, may make appropriations to the clean coal technology program and clean coal technology projects and, notwithstanding any other law, may pledge county option and economic development income tax revenues to the clean coal technology program or one (1) or more clean coal

technology projects or to revenue bonds issued or guaranteed for the program or projects, whether by the authority or otherwise.
    (g) Revenue bonds and guarantees of the authority under this section do not constitute debt of the state, and the general assembly shall not be obligated to make appropriations to the authority for such purposes.
    (h) In addition to other powers granted to the authority or a political subdivision under this chapter, the authority or a political subdivision may lease clean coal technology projects under this section from a lessor corporation or authority and sublease the project to any entity. Bonds issued by any lessor corporation or authority shall be considered revenue bonds of a body politic and corporate of the state or a political subdivision for all purposes of this section.
    (i) The authority may not issue revenue bonds to finance a clean coal technology project, guarantee revenue bonds issued by another body corporate and politic of Indiana or a political subdivision to finance a clean coal technology project, or enter into a lease in connection with a clean coal technology project unless and until:
        (1) the lieutenant governor evaluates in writing the technical merits and feasibility of the clean coal technology project and the lieutenant governor presents the evaluation with a recommendation to proceed to the budget committee for review;
        (2) the authority, in cooperation with the budget agency, evaluates the financial merits and feasibility of the clean coal technology project (including a plan of finance for the project and appropriate assurances that the project will be constructed as contemplated) and the authority presents the evaluation with a recommendation to proceed to the budget committee for review;
        (3) the budget committee completes the reviews described in this subsection and makes a recommendation to proceed to the state board of finance; and
        (4) the state board of finance approves the undertaking of the clean coal technology project and plan of finance.
    (j) In evaluating the technical merits and feasibility of the clean coal technology project, the lieutenant governor may rely upon the written testimony of outside experts retained for this purpose.
    (k) The plan of finance described in subsection (i) must indicate whether, in the authority's opinion, state appropriations will be needed to support the project and if so, the anticipated times and amounts of the appropriations.
    (l) In creating the clean coal technology program and in authorizing the financing of clean coal technology projects, the general assembly expects that the plan of finance for each project will take into account revenues from the project and contributions from the beneficiaries of the program. For purposes of this section, "beneficiaries" means corporate and individual sponsors and proponents of projects, the coal industry and coal users, and employees of the coal industry and coal users, and political

subdivisions whose economies are dependent in whole or in part on the coal industry. Contributions may be in cash, in kind, or in any combination of in cash and in kind, and may include real and personal property and interests in real and personal property and in technology, patents, licenses, franchises, marketing agreements, and shares and other interests in any of the foregoing. In evaluating and reviewing projects and plans of finance under this section, the authority, the lieutenant governor, the budget agency, the budget committee, and the state board of finance shall be guided by the general assembly's expectation as to contributions from the beneficiaries of the program as described in this subsection. However, failure of any particular beneficiary to contribute to a project shall not in itself disqualify a project.
    (m) This section only applies to the clean coal technology program and clean coal technology projects and not to any other programs or projects undertaken by the authority.
