SECTION 1. Section 12-28-2740(A) of the 1976 Code, as last
amended by Act 145 of 1995, is further amended to read:
"(A) The proceeds from two and sixty-six one-hundredths cents
a gallon of the tax on gasoline only as levied and provided for in this
chapter must be deposited with the State Treasurer and expended for
purposes set forth in this section. The monies must be apportioned
among the counties of the State in the following manner:
(1) one-third in the ratio which the land area of the county
bears to the total land area of the State;
(2) one-third in the ratio which the population of the
county bears to the total population of the State as shown by the latest
official decennial census;
(3) one-third in the ratio which the mileage of all rural
roads in the county bears to the total rural road mileage in the State
as shown by the latest official records of the Department of
Transportation ratio that retail sales of gasoline by gallon in
the county are of such sales statewide. The Department of
Revenue shall collect the information required pursuant
to Section 12-28-2510 regarding the number of gallons sold in
each county for use in making allocations of donor funds as
provided in subsection (H) this section. The
Department of Revenue shall submit the percentage of the total
represented by each county to the Department of Transportation and
to each county transportation committee annually by March
thirty-first. Upon request of a county transportation committee, the
Department of Transportation shall continue to administer the funds
allocated to the county.
All interest earnings on the County Transportation Fund in the State
Treasury must be credited to the State Highway Fund."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect July 1, 1997.
