"No card or marker may be issued by the Tax Commission until after the fee provided in this section is paid. Fifty-five Thirty percent of the fees provided for by this section must be credited to the state highway fund. The remaining portion of the fees must be deposited in the state treasury and distributed annually by the State Treasurer to municipalities as follows:

(1) three-fifths must be distributed to municipalities pro rata, according to population as shown by the most recent United States census. In each annual distribution of these funds, each county seat shall must receive two thousand dollars or its share according to population, whichever is greater; and no municipality may receive more than ten thousand dollars in any annual distribution; and

(2) two-fifths must be distributed to municipalities pro rata according to population as shown by the most recent United States census. There may be no deduction from the funds distributed to municipalities for costs of collection and administration."

SECTION 2. Upon approval by the Governor, this act is effective beginning with distributions made for the 1990-91 fiscal year.
