Provided, however, that before certifying the amount of the tax collected and paid, the commissioner may deduct from the tax collected in the month the charge due to the department for the collection of the tax for the county. The Comptroller shall issue warrants each month as provided by law. The commissioner shall then distribute the remaining balance as follows: (1) Fifty percent of the net remaining proceeds shall be distributed to the Crenshaw County Commission for capital improvements and other capital outlay expenditures, road improvements, and the remediation of designated environmental issues.(2) Fifty percent of the net remaining proceeds shall be distributed directly to the Crenshaw County Board of Education for capital improvement of the facilities, other capital outlay expenses, development of technology programs, and instructional support.(b) The sales and use tax levied by this part shall not be used to support any salary increases of the members of organizations benefiting from the proceeds of the tax.Ala.
