Indiana House Bill 1004
In May 2011, House Bill 1004 was signed into law. This legislation phases in over four years a 2 percent rate reduction to the
Indiana Adjusted Gross Income Tax for corporations. Pursuant to House Bill 1004, the tax rate will be lowered by 0.5 percent
each year beginning on July 1, 2012, to the final rate of 6.5 percent effective July 1, 2015. Pursuant to FASB guidance, the
Company accounted for the effect of the change in tax law on its deferred taxes in the second quarter of 2011, the period of
enactment. The remeasurement of these temporary differences at the lower tax rate was recorded as a reduction of a
regulatory asset.
