(a) The State Board of Finance is authorized to make temporary loans to cities, counties, and school districts from average daily balances in the State Treasury available to the board for investment purposes. For any city, county, or school district to be eligible to receive temporary loans under the provisions of this subchapter, the city, county, or school district shall prepare a schedule from each of the five (5) preceding calendar or fiscal years. This schedule shall reflect the average monthly cash flow derived from property tax sources and the proportion of property taxes available during each month as they relate to the aggregate amount of property taxes collected and available to the city, county, or school district during the calendar or fiscal year, and the city, county, or school district shall average such monthly cash flow percentages for the five-year period. (b) If the board determines that the cash flow of the city, county, or school district has fallen below the monthly average percentage cash flow for property taxes available to the city, county, or school district for the prior five (5) fiscal years and that the current level of cash flow is not adequate to enable the city, county, or school district to maintain an adequate level of services, the board may make temporary loans to the city, county, or school district. These loans may be in an aggregate amount no greater than the difference between average monthly percentage cash flow of the city, county, or school district for the preceding five (5) years for such period and the actual percentage cash flow in the current tax year computed on the basis of taxes collected in relation to the estimated tax collections for the tax year. (c) (1) All these loans shall be repaid to the board upon their maturity, which shall, in no event, be beyond the last day of the calendar year in which the loan is made. (2) In the event any city, county, or school district shall fail or refuse to pay any such loan in accordance with the repayment schedule agreed to by the board or as set forth in this section, the board shall certify this fact and the amount of the unpaid loan to the Treasurer of State. The Treasurer of State shall withhold it from the next moneys available for distribution to the city, county, or school district from state general revenues and shall transfer the amount from the County Aid Fund, the Municipal Aid Fund, or the Public School Fund, as the case may be, to the appropriate State Treasury account or source from which the loan was made.
