or (h) may be used for any of the following purposes:
(1) To reduce the property tax levy of the city, town, or county

reduce the maximum levy of the city, town, or county under
IC 6-1.1-18.5.
(g) This subsection does not apply to an entity receiving money
under IC 4-33-12-6(c). Before September 15 of each year, the
treasurer of state shall determine the total amount of money
distributed to an entity under IC 4-33-12-6 during the preceding state
fiscal year. If the treasurer of state determines that the total amount
of money distributed to an entity under IC 4-33-12-6 during the
preceding state fiscal year was less than the entity's base year
revenue (as determined under IC 4-33-12-6), the treasurer of state
shall make a supplemental distribution to the entity from taxes
collected under this chapter and deposited into the state general fund.
Except as provided in subsection (i), the amount of an entity's
supplemental distribution is equal to:
(1) the entity's base year revenue (as determined under
IC 4-33-12-6); minus
(2) the sum of:
(A) the total amount of money distributed to the entity
during the preceding state fiscal year under IC 4-33-12-6;
plus
(B) any amounts deducted under IC 6-3.1-20-7.
(h) This subsection applies only to a county containing a
consolidated city. The county auditor shall distribute the money
received by the county under subsection (e) as follows:
(1) To each city, other than a consolidated city, located in the
county according to the ratio that the city's population bears to
the total population of the county.
(2) To each town located in the county according to the ratio
that the town's population bears to the total population of the
county.
(3) After the distributions required in subdivisions (1) and (2)
are made, the remainder shall be paid in equal amounts to the
consolidated city and the county.
(i) This subsection applies only to the Indiana horse racing
commission. For each state fiscal year the amount of the Indiana
horse racing commission's supplemental distribution under
subsection (g) must be reduced by the amount required to comply
with IC 4-33-12-7(a). As added by P.L.277-1993(ss), SEC.124. Amended by P.L.2-1995,
