AI Summary
This bill modifies Indiana law regarding certified technology parks, specifically addressing the incremental tax financing fund and deposit limits. Under the current law, there is a $5 million limit on deposits into a certified technology park's incremental tax financing fund. The bill introduces a new provision that allows a Level 2 certified technology park located within a military base enhancement area to become a Level 3 park upon reaching its deposit limit, which would then entitle the park to receive an additional annual incremental income tax deposit of up to $250,000. This change is designed to provide additional financial support for technology parks situated near military bases, helping to encourage economic development and growth in these areas. The bill also makes technical amendments to how income tax incremental amounts are calculated and clarifies the process for recertification and continued designation of technology parks at different levels. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving state agencies and technology parks time to prepare for the new regulations.
