66.1105(4)(h)6.
6. Notwithstanding
subd. 1., a project plan shall be considered to have been amended, without compliance with any of the procedures required under
subd. 1., if the only change to the project plan is the extension of the period during which expenditures may be made under

par. (a), a district must meet all of the conditions under
par. (a) and its value increment in any year must have declined at least 25 percent from the district's highest value increment determined by the department of revenue over the course of the district's life.

66.1105(4e)(b)1.1. Adoption of a resolution under
par. (a) 1. shall be preceded by a public hearing held by the common council at which interested parties shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to express their views on the proposed designation of a distressed, or severely distressed, tax incremental district. Notice of the hearing shall be published as a class 2 notice under
ch. 985. The notice shall describe the resolution and shall advise that a copy of the resolution will be provided on request. The notice shall also explain that the life of a distressed tax incremental district may be extended, that it may receive excess tax increments from a donor district, and that the life of the donor district may be extended to provide such increments. Before publication, a copy of the notice shall be sent by 1st class mail to the chief executive officer or administrator of all local governmental entities having the power to levy taxes on property within the district and to the school board of any school district that includes property located within the proposed district.

66.1105(4e)(b)2.
2. Following receipt of the resolution and the financial data under
par. (a) 2., the joint review board shall evaluate the resolution and data to determine whether the designation of the district as a distressed, or severely distressed, district or the sharing of tax increments by a donor district with the distressed, or severely distressed, district is likely to enhance the ability of the city to pay its project costs related to the district within the time specified in
par. (d) 2. The joint review board may approve or deny the designation and shall send a written copy of its findings to the common council.
66.1105(4e)(b)3.

66.1105(4e)(d)3.
3. Notwithstanding the time limits and other provisions for termination under
sub. (7), a donor tax incremental district under
sub. (6) (d),
(dm),
(e), and
(f) may share tax increments with a distressed, or severely distressed, district until the earlier of the following occurs:
66.1105(4e)(d)3.b.
b. Following its creation, the donor district has existed for 10 years after the district would otherwise be required to terminate, if the district is sharing its increment with a district designated as a distressed district under this subsection, or until the donor district has been in existence for 40 years, if the district is sharing its increment with a district designated as a severely distressed district under this subsection.

66.1105(4e)(g)
(g) If any tax increments allocated to a distressed, or severely distressed, tax incremental district under this subsection exceed the amount needed to meet the distressed, or severely distressed, district's annual expenditures identified in its existing project plan, the excess amount shall be used to retire any outstanding debt obligations of the district or to establish a reserve fund that may be used only to retire outstanding debt obligations of the distressed, or severely distressed, district.

2. Except as provided in
subd. 2m., no tax incremental district may be created and no project plan may be amended unless the board approves the resolution adopted under
sub. (4) (gm) or

subd. 1. would not occur without the creation of a tax incremental district. The board may not approve the resolution under this subdivision unless the board finds that, with regard to a tax incremental district that is proposed to be created by a city under
sub. (17) (a), such a district would be the only existing district created under that subsection by that city.
66.1105(4m)(b)2m.
2m. The requirement under
subd. 2. that a vote by the board take place within 30 days after receiving a resolution does not apply to a resolution amending a project plan under

4. Before the joint review board submits its decision under
subd. 3., or
sub. (4e) (b) 3., a majority of the members of the board may request that the department of revenue review the objective facts contained in any of the documents listed in
subd. 1., or
sub. (4e) (a) 2. to determine whether the information submitted to the board complies with this section or whether any of the information contains a factual inaccuracy. The request must be in writing and must specify which particular objective fact or item the members believe is incomplete or inaccurate. Not later than 10 working days after receiving a request that complies with the requirements of this subdivision, the department of revenue shall investigate the issues raised in the request and shall send its written response to the board. If the department of revenue determines that the information in the proposal does not comply with this section or contains a factual inaccuracy, the department shall return the proposal to the city.

66.1105(4m)(c)1.c.
c. Whether the benefits of the proposal outweigh the anticipated tax increments to be paid by the owners of property in the overlying taxing districts.
66.1105(4m)(c)2.
