1. (a) This section applies to the part of the tax area in which a facility or complex of facilities described in section 10(b)(3) and 10(c) of this chapter is located. A reference to "tax area addition" in this section includes only the part of the tax area in which a facility or complex of facilities described in section 10(b)(3) and 10(c) of this chapter is located.

      to the sports and convention facilities operating fund established by section 16(b) of this chapter. However, to the extent a covered tax has been pledged before January 1, 2009, and allocated under IC 36-10-9-11 to the capital improvement bond fund, that amount shall not be allocated to the sports and convention facilities operating fund.

3. (c) The allocation provision must apply only to the tax area addition.

However, the maximum total amount of covered taxes attributable to the part of the tax area in which a facility or complex of facilities described in section 10(b)(3) or 10(c) of this chapter is located that may be deposited in the sports and convention facilities operating fund during each state fiscal year is set forth in subsection (f).
