Sec. 20. (a) This section does not apply to distributions of revenue under section 9 of this chapter.

     (b) This section applies only to the following:

(1) Any allocation or distribution of revenue under section 3(a)(2) of this chapter that is made on the basis of property tax levies in counties that formerly imposed a tax under IC 6-3.5-1.1 (before its repeal January 1, 2017).

(2) Any allocation or distribution of revenue under section 3(a)(3) of this chapter that is made on the basis of property tax levies in counties that formerly imposed a tax under IC 6-3.5-6 (before its repeal January 1, 2017).

     (c) Subject to subsection (b), if a school corporation or civil taxing unit of an adopting county does not impose a property tax levy that is first due and payable in the calendar year preceding the year in which revenue under section 3(a)(2) or 3(a)(3) of this chapter is being allocated or distributed, that school corporation or civil taxing unit is entitled to receive a part of the revenue under section 3(a)(2) or 3(a)(3) of this chapter (as appropriate) to be distributed within the county. The fractional amount that such a school corporation or civil taxing unit is entitled to receive each month during that calendar year equals the product of:

(1) the amount of revenue under section 3(a)(2) or 3(a)(3) of this chapter to be distributed on the basis of property tax levies during that month; multiplied by

(2) a fraction. The numerator of the fraction equals the budget of that school corporation or civil taxing unit for the distribution year. The denominator of the fraction equals the aggregate budgets of all school corporations or civil taxing units of that county for the distribution year.

     (d) Subject to subsection (b), if for a calendar year a school corporation or civil taxing unit is allocated a part of a county’s revenue under section 3(a)(2) or 3(a)(3) of this chapter by subsection (c), the calculations used to determine the shares of revenue of all other school corporations and civil taxing units under section 3(a)(2) or 3(a)(3) of this chapter (as appropriate) shall be changed each month for that same year by reducing the amount of revenue to be distributed by the amount of revenue under section 3(a)(2) or 3(a)(3) of this chapter allocated under subsection (c) for that same month. The department of local government finance shall make any adjustments required by this subsection and provide them to the appropriate county auditors.
