1. a. A governmental entity shall not receive remittances of sales tax revenue under this chapter after twenty years from the date the governmental entity’s project was approved by the board or after expiration of the additional period of years if approved under paragraph “b” unless the remittance amount is calculated under section 418.11 based on sales subject to the tax under section 423.2 occurring before the expiration of the twenty-year period or expiration of the additional period of years if approved under paragraph “b”.
