The state treasurer shall pay the moneys allocated to the state under 33 U.S.C. 701(c)(3) to the counties entitled to receive them in proportion to the area of the land in the county acquired by the United States for which compensation is being provided under 33 U.S.C. 701(c)(3) as that area bears to the total of these federal lands in the state. A county receiving an allocation under this section shall disburse the moneys received as follows:
1. One-half must be paid to the school districts in the county which have lost land subject
to taxation because of the acquisition of lands by the United States for which
compensation is being provided under 33 U.S.C. 701(c)(3) in proportion to the area of
these federal lands in each district as that area bears to the total of such lands in all of
the school districts in the county. If, however, all of the land in a district has been
acquired by the United States, that district's proportionate share of the funds allocated
under this subsection must be paid into the county tuition fund and expended
according to the law governing that fund.
2. One-quarter must be paid to the county for road purposes to be expended as the
county commissioners shall determine.
3. The final quarter must be allocated among the organized townships, if any, which have
lost land subject to taxation because of land acquisitions by the United States for
which compensation is being provided under 33 U.S.C. 701(c)(3) and the county for
road purposes in proportion to the area of these lands in each township as that area
bears to the total area of these federal lands in the county. The county must be
allocated a similar proportionate share based on the area of these lands in the county
not within an organized township. This section applies to all funds heretofore received or to be received by the counties entitled thereto.
