Beginning October 1, 1981 and each October 1, thereafter 30% of the total annual fiscal year payment received by the State of Illinois from the Tennessee Valley Authority, pursuant to Section 13 of the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 (16 USCA 831, et seq.), as amended, shall be deposited in the General Revenue Fund. Seventy percent of such payment shall be divided among counties in Illinois in which the Tennessee Valley Authority has coal reserved. Moneys distributed to any such county shall be deposited in its general fund.
The payment to each county shall bear the same proportion to the total amount to be divided as the book value of Tennessee Valley Authority property in such county bears to the net book value of Tennessee Valley Authority property in all counties eligible to receive a share of the amount to be divided. Such distributions to the counties shall be made as soon as possible after October 1 of each year. Book values shall be determined as of the immediately preceding calendar year.
The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly are declarative of existing law and are not a new enactment.
