§ 16-23-1-29 — Appropriations; special hospital aid tax

(a) If the county fiscal body is not authorized
to appropriate sufficient funds under this chapter to meet an anticipated
deficiency in any one (1) year reported and filed in the offices of the
county auditor and city clerk-treasurer, the city fiscal body may
appropriate a sufficient amount of funds for the next calendar year to
meet the balance of the anticipated deficiency and levy a special
hospital aid tax on all taxable property in the city for this purpose.
(b) The rate fixed by the city fiscal body for a hospital aid tax in any
one (1) year may not exceed two and thirty-three hundredths cents
($0.0233) on each one hundred dollars ($100) of taxable property. The
tax is in addition to any tax levied by the city for the retirement of
bonds or other evidences of indebtedness and payment of interest
charges for the alteration, repair, or improvement of the hospital,
including the construction of additions and extensions to the hospital.
