Indiana — C-PACE status brief

Current finding

Legislative history versus availability

Senate Bill 411 (2023) proposed a Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy Program. Its introduced text contemplated local programs and voluntary assessments, but an introduced bill is not law. The available history records first reading/referral to Tax and Fiscal Policy on January 19, 2023, with no enactment evidenced here. Official bill page, introduced legislative text, mirrored, history cross-check.

Exact retrieval gap: the official Indiana General Assembly bill page returns a JavaScript-only shell to the research browser. Thus its full action history was not directly extracted; the introduced legislative PDF and secondary history were used only for proposal/history context. The proposed July 1, 2023 effective date printed in the draft is not evidence that the proposal took effect.

Responsibility, eligibility and process

• C-PACE administrator: none verified. Do not label the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, an energy office, or a private capital provider as an operating administrator merely because a proposal assigns duties.
• Local adoption / launch / geography: no active adoption or launch verified; no Indiana parcel should be advertised as C-PACE eligible on this record.
• Consent, lien priority, assessment transfer and underwriting: no enacted Indiana C-PACE rules verified. Do not import Ohio or Illinois provisions.
• Known projects: none verified as Indiana C-PACE transactions. This is not a claim that Indiana has no energy-efficiency projects or alternative financing.

Indiana University describes PACE as a tool to use if a state has it, not as an Indiana program announcement. Indiana University guidance.

VERADUCT next steps

Maintain an Indiana policy-watch/status page rather than an application CTA. Before changing status, establish: enacted session law and effective date; local implementing authority; administrator appointment and live intake; governing consent/lien rules; then a documented financing close. Complete direct 2025–2026 session-law verification through an authorized accessible legislative source before treating the statewide negative finding as exhaustive. Do not turn an old bill's proposed terms into current financing promises.

Local applicability, resilience and code-verification gap

No operating C-PACE adopting city/county was verified, so no local C-PACE eligibility, hazard-hardening schedule or permitting pathway can responsibly be advertised. Flood, wind, extreme-temperature or other exposure is not proof of financing eligibility. Ordinary building, zoning, floodplain, mechanical and electrical requirements must be checked with the authority governing the actual parcel independently of financing. This review did not establish a current parcel-specific code edition or hazard design criterion; do not import another state's rules. A future program claim requires an enacted authority or validated local legal basis, adopting instrument, current administrator/manual and live intake before mapping measures to that jurisdiction.

Additional verification limits

Items requiring further confirmation: Official bill page JS shell; direct 2025-2026 session-law verification.
