Text

(a) If at any time the governor of Indiana shall
find that the tax imposed by 42 U.S.C. 1101 through 1109, as amended,
has been amended or repealed by Congress or has been held
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States with the
result that no portion of the contributions required by this article may
be credited against such tax, or if this article is declared inoperative by
the supreme court of Indiana, the governor of Indiana shall publicly so
proclaim, and upon the date of such proclamation the provisions of this
article requiring the payment of contributions and benefits shall be
suspended for a period ending not later than the last day of the next
following regular or special session of the general assembly of the state
of Indiana. The department shall thereupon requisition from the
unemployment trust fund all money in the unemployment trust fund
standing to its credit and shall direct the treasurer of state of Indiana to
deposit such moneys, together with any other moneys in the fund, as a
special fund in any banks or public depositories in this state in which
general funds of the state may be deposited.
(b) Unless prior to the expiration of such period, the general
assembly of the state of Indiana has made provision for an employment
security law in this state and has directed that the funds so deposited
shall be used for the payment of benefits in this state, the provisions of
this article shall cease to be operative, and the department shall, under
rules prescribed by the department, refund without interest to each
person by whom contributions have been paid the person's pro rata
share of the total contributions paid under this article.
