A. Subject to the requirements of subsection D of this section, if a county stadium district is authorized by an election pursuant to section 48-4237, subsection E, paragraph 5 to use the amounts paid to the district pursuant to subsection B of this section as permitted by law, then after delivery of a resolution of the district board of directors requesting payment, which resolution shall contain notice of the exercise of the option to begin payments provided for in this subsection, the state treasurer shall pay each month, beginning with the second calendar month after the optional payment commencement event contained in the resolution, from the amount designated as distribution base pursuant to section 42-5029, subsection D, the amount determined under subsection B of this section to the district.

The amount to be paid each month under subsection A of this section is one-half of the amount of state transaction privilege tax revenues received in the second preceding calendar month from all persons conducting business under any business classification under this article at a multipurpose facility site, or in the construction of a multipurpose facility, the public or district owned components of which cost at least two hundred million dollars to construct. In no event shall the amount to be paid each month under this section exceed the net new state transaction privilege tax revenues received from the multipurpose facility site as compared to the revenues received in the same month during the twelve months before the month in which the public vote pursuant to section 48-4237 is held.
