43-206. Urban revenue sharing fund; allocation;
distribution
A. There is established an urban revenue sharing fund. The fund shall consist of
an amount equal to fifteen per cent of the net proceeds of the state income taxes for the
fiscal year two years preceding the current fiscal year. The fund shall be distributed to
incorporated cities and towns as provided in this section, except that a city or town
shall receive at least an amount equal to what a city or town with a population of
fifteen hundred or more persons would receive. The transfer of net proceeds prescribed
by section 49-282, subsection B does not affect the calculation of net proceeds
prescribed by this subsection.
B. Each city or town shall share in the urban revenue sharing fund in the
proportion that the population of each bears to the population of all. Except as provided
by sections 42-5033 and 42-5033.01, the population of a city or town as determined by the
most recent United States decennial census plus any revisions to the decennial census
certified by the United States bureau of the census shall be used as the basis for
apportioning monies pursuant to this subsection.
C. The treasurer, upon instruction from the department, shall transmit, no later
than the tenth day of each month, to each city or town an amount equal to one-twelfth of
that city's or town's total entitlement for the current fiscal year from the urban
revenue sharing fund as determined by the department.
D. A newly incorporated city or town shall share in the urban revenue sharing fund
beginning the first month of the first full fiscal year following incorporation.
E. On receipt of a certificate of default from the greater Arizona development
authority pursuant to section 41-1554.06 or 41-1554.07, the state treasurer, to the
extent not otherwise expressly prohibited by law, shall withhold from the next succeeding
distribution of monies pursuant to this section due to the city or town the amount
specified in the certificate of default and immediately deposit the amount withheld in
the greater Arizona development authority revolving fund. The state treasurer shall
continue to withhold and deposit the monies until the authority certifies to the state
treasurer that the default has been cured. In no event shall the state treasurer
withhold any amount that is necessary, as certified by the defaulting political
subdivision to the state treasurer and the authority, to make any required deposits then
due for the payment of principal and interest on bonds of the political subdivision that
were issued prior to the date of the loan repayment agreement or bonds and that have been
secured by a pledge of distributions made pursuant to this section.
