§ 36-9-14-7 — Courthouse fund; transfer of funds to nonprofit corporation maintaining or renovating courthouse

(a) The tax money collected under this chapter
shall be held in a special fund to be known as the courthouse fund.
(b) For purposes of this chapter and IC 36-9-14.5, the portion of the
property tax levy designated for a courthouse described in section 2(b)
of this chapter may be transferred to a nonprofit corporation that has a
lease with the county requiring the corporation to maintain or renovate
the courthouse. Before appropriated funds may be transferred to a
qualified nonprofit corporation, the corporation must submit a plan for
the use of the funds to the county fiscal body for its approval. An
officer or employee of a corporation who receives funds under this
section and knowingly uses the funds for a purpose other than a
purpose approved by the fiscal body commits a Level 6 felony.
