WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                       Ch. 2

(3) SOMERSET COUNTY SHALL PAY EACH QUARTER TO
CRISFIELD AND PRINCESS ANNE 12.5% EACH.

(C)  ADJUSTMENT.

THE COMPTROLLER SHALL ADJUST THE AMOUNT DISTRIBUTED UNDER
SUBSECTION (A) OF THIS SECTION TO A COUNTY TO ALLOW FOR REFUND
PAYMENTS TO RETAILERS IN THAT COUNTY.

(D)  TO GENERAL FUND.

AFTER MAKING THE DISTRIBUTION REQUIRED UNDER SUBSECTION (A)
OF THIS SECTION, THE COMPTROLLER SHALL DISTRIBUTE EACH QUARTER
THE REMAINING REVENUE TO THE GENERAL FUND OF THE STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) and (b) of this section are
new language derived without substantive change from
former Art. 2B, § 151(b)(2) and § 134(b) through (d)
and the first and third sentences of (a).

Subsection (c) of this section is new language
substituted for the third sentence of former Art. 2B,
§ 141(a), as it related to revenues from distilled
spirits, to clarify that refunds are paid from revenue
not yet distributed under subsection (b) of this
section.

Subsection (d) of this section is new language added
to state expressly that the Comptroller distributes
remaining revenue to the General Fund.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the defined term
"county" is substituted for the former reference to
"the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore or the county
governing body of any other county", "Baltimore City",
"said city", and "said" county, for clarity and
consistency.

Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the phrase
"from the alcoholic beverage tax revenue from
distilled spirits" is substituted for the former
reference to "taxes levied and collected under and by
virtue of the terms of § 133 of this article on all
distilled spirits and other alcoholic beverages except
beer and wine", for clarity and brevity. Similarly,
the reference to "distilled spirits" is substituted
for the former reference to "all such alcoholic
beverages".

Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former
words "pay over" are deleted as unnecessary in light
of the use of the word "distribute". See § 2-109 of
this title.
