     Sec. 27. (a) The governing board may request support from the county, either by appropriation from the county general fund or by a separate tax levy, by filing with the county executive on or before August 1 a written budget of the amount estimated to be required to maintain, operate, or improve the hospital for the ensuing year.

     (b) If the county provides a direct financial subsidy to a hospital from a tax levy at the time the board exercises the powers under section 1(b) of this chapter, the board may not provide the funds from a tax levy to an entity created under section 1(b) of this chapter for more than three (3) years. After three (3) years, all funds, with interest, must be repaid within ten (10) years.

     (c) If the board enters into a lease or sublease contract or a loan agreement with the state authority, the board may request the county to adopt a separate tax levy to support the board's obligation to make payments under that contract or agreement.
