(d) Except as provided in this section to the contrary, the
Comptroller may not divide, allocate and pay to the several
counties of the State and to Baltimore City any portion of the

by the Maryland Racing Commission from each licensee licensed
under § 7 of this article; (2) revenues arising out of any days

arising out of any days of racing in excess of 20 at any one
track during any one year collected by the Maryland Racing
Commission from each licensee licensed under § 17 of this

of revenue to the political subdivisions does not apply to the
additional 48 days of racing awarded under § 7(b) of this
article; and the distribution of revenue for these additional
days of racing shall be calculated in the same manner as applies

counties shall each be eligible to receive a maximum of 30
percent and Howard County shall be eligible to receive a maximum
of 10 percent, however, the actual amount of payment shall be
determined in accordance with subsections (e) and (f). The
limitation on the allocation and payment of revenue to the
political subdivisions does not apply to the 18 additional days
of racing authorized under § 15 of this article to be awarded
after June 1, 1974 to the Maryland State Fair and Agricultural
Society, Incorporated, and the revenue for these additional days
of racing shall be calculated in the same manner as applies to
the first 10 days. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection
(c), a maximum of 100 percent of this additional revenue shall be
paid to Baltimore County to assist the funding of services and
facilities within six miles of the aforementioned racetrack and
occasioned by its presence, however, the actual amount of payment
shall be determined in accordance with subsections (e) and (f).
All such revenues and license fees paid over to the Comptroller
of the Treasury shall be allocated and credited to the general
funds of the State alone.
