(a) The fiscal body of a governmental entity that has entered into an approved lease under this chapter shall annually levy a tax sufficient to produce each year the necessary revenues that, with other available money, are sufficient to pay the lease rental payable under the lease.(b) In fixing and determining the amount of the necessary levy to pay the lease rental, the fiscal body may take into consideration amounts that have been transferred to the fund for payment of the lease rental under section 16(e) of this chapter. This chapter does not relieve the governmental entity from the obligation to pay from taxes the lease rental or part of it if other funds are not available for that purpose. The tax levies are reviewable by other bodies vested by statute with authority to ascertain that the levies are sufficient to raise the amount that, with other money available, will be sufficient to meet the rental payable under the lease.As added by Acts 1982, P.L.218, SEC.5.
