A. In lieu of the population determined by the department of economic security for purposes of computing a county's expenditure limitation under section 41-563, the economic estimates commission shall use, as an alternative, an attributed population that is computed pursuant to this section for any county that is adjacent to a foreign country and that has a census population of less than two hundred thousand persons according to the most recent United States decennial census.

B. The alternative attributed population is the estimated population determined by the department of economic security for the fiscal year plus one-half of the daily average number of persons who lawfully crossed the international border into and out of the county during the calendar year preceding the start of the fiscal year, according to statistics compiled by the United States customs service.
