    (b) Every depository that has public funds shall pay into the public deposit insurance fund the assessments provided in this chapter and comply with all lawful requirements of the board for depositories. The public deposit insurance fund shall be maintained by the assessments payable by the depositories and by the collection of all claims created under IC 5-13-13 and by the receipt of all interest and other earnings of the insurance fund from any source.
    (c) All property in the public deposit insurance fund, the interest or income derived from it or through its use, and all property otherwise held by the board for depositories under this chapter is exempt from all taxes imposed by the state or any political subdivision.
