§ 36-7-7-2 — Establishment; inapplicability of certain tax

(a) The legislative bodies of all the counties in
a region may, by concurrent resolutions, request the establishment of
a regional planning commission (referred to as a "commission" in this
chapter). Official copies of the resolutions must be forwarded to the
governor, who shall then appoint himself or herself, or a member of the
governor's staff to immediately notify the other members of the
commission and to act as temporary chair for the election of officers.
The commission shall, by resolution, designate a name for itself that
reflects the commission's role and function and that may include the
words "Regional Planning Commission".
(b) This subsection applies to each commission established after
July 1, 1978. A county participating in a commission is not subject to
the tax imposed under section 12 of this chapter, unless all the
concurrent resolutions establishing the commission accept the
application of the tax.
