§32-6-571. Distribution of proceeds.

(a) The net proceeds of the additional revenues derived from sales of the distinctive plates, less administrative costs including the costs of production incurred by the Revenue Department in producing the plates, shall be distributed by each judge of probate or license commissioner to the state Comptroller. The first two thousand dollars ($2,000) received by the state Comptroller shall be used to satisfy the appropriation specified in Section 4 of Act 97-544 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998. Thereafter, the state Comptroller shall distribute the proceeds monthly to the Alabama Sports Festival, Inc.

(b) For every license plate or tag purchased by a resident of a particular county, one-half of the proceeds received by the Alabama Sports Festival, Inc., shall be given to the Alabama Sports Festival, Inc., County Local Organizing Committee to be used for the benefit of athletes residing in the county which participates in the programs of the Alabama Sports Festival, Inc. The balance shall be used statewide in underwriting the programs of the Alabama Sports Festival, Inc. If a tag is purchased by a resident of a county that has not organized an Alabama Sports Festival, Inc., County Local Organizing Committee, one-half of the proceeds shall be deposited in an interest-bearing trust account in an Alabama bank, and transferred to the Alabama Sports Festival, Inc., County Local Organizing Committee when the organization of that county local organizing committee has been completed.
