CHAPTER 542
(Senate Bill 584)

AN ACT to repeal and re-enact, with amendments, Section 19 (B)
of Article 78B of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1965 Replace-
ment Volume), title "Racing Commission," subtitle "In General,"
to specify the manner in determining the population of towns in
Prince George's County for the purpose of distributing to them
certain racing funds.

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That Section 19 (B) of Article 78B of the Annotated Code of Mary-
land (1965 Replacement Volume), title "Racing Commission," sub-
title "In General," be and it is hereby repealed and re-enacted, with
amendments, to read as follows:

19.

(B) From the funds allocated to each county under the provisions
of this section, the county commissioners of the county shall allocate
and pay to each incorporated town in the county a share of such
funds in the ratio which the population of each such town (figured
on the best and most reliable figures available in the opinion of the
county commissioners) bears to the total population of the county,
provided, however, that such distribution shall be made if and only
if the two following conditions are met: (1) Only if such funds are
used for the construction or maintenance of streets, or sewerage
facilities or water systems, or garbage collections and disposal within
the town; and (2) only if such town shall raise by taxation and apply
for the same purpose as are the distributed funds an amount equal
to any funds so distributed. The share which any incorporated town
failing to comply with the provisions of this section would have
received upon such compliance shall be retained by the county. In
Prince George's County the County Commissioners shall use in deter-
mining the distribution to cities and towns the most recent popula-
tion figures of the county and the cities and towns therein which are
published by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Com-
mission, provided that the figures published by the Commission are
more recent than the latest Federal decennial census or other county-
wide census.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
July 1, 1967.

Approved April 21, 1967.
