allocated and paid to the several counties and Baltimore City as
hereinbefore provided; except that no funds shall be divided among,
allocated or paid to any of the several counties of the State or to
the City of Baltimore as aforesaid unless it shall have levied, in its
current fiscal year, taxes sufficient to collect a minimum of one dollar
per capita in revenue and unless it shall have certified a copy of
said levy to the State Comptroller; and provided further, that any
moneys otherwise distributable as hereinbefore provided, which
shall not be distributed at the close of the fiscal year of any such
county or the city of Baltimore because of failure of any county or
the city of Baltimore to make such levy and certification, shall revert
to the General Fund of the State Treasury. Per capita revenue shall
be computed for purposes of this subsection by using the population
figures furnished by the latest federal census or by an official local
census, whichever is latest.
