of this Act; however, the legislative auditor may authorize the granting of additional sums24
due any recipient in advance upon a showing that the advance receipt of such funds is25
reasonably necessary. If the state treasurer does not distribute said fund on or before the26
dates specified in this Act, any interest or other income derived by the state from the parish27
allocations, earned prior to the distribution to the parishes, shall be paid over a pro rata basis28
together with the principal amounts due the parishes under the provisions of this Act. Any29
interest or other income derived by the parish tax collector or the city of New Orleans from30 ENROLLEDHB NO. 594

the investment or other use of such total parish allocations received from the state treasurer,1
earned prior to the distributions within the parish as required by the foregoing provisions of2
this Act, shall be paid over a pro rata basis together with the principal amounts due the local3
recipients under the provisions of this Act upon distribution thereto, and the parish tax4
collectors or the city of New Orleans may retain only investment income earned on that5
portion of the total parish allocation to which they are otherwise entitled under the provisions6
of this Act. In light of the fact that all assessment roll figures will not be available in time7
to base the December distribution by the treasurer on current figures, the distribution of8
funds on the first day of December pursuant to this Act shall be based on the distribution9
figures for Fiscal Year 2009-2010. The remaining two distributions on the fifteenth day of10
March and the fifteenth day of May shall be based on current figures for Fiscal Year 2010-11
2011, and such distributions shall be adjusted to compensate for the differences resulting in12
the use of the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 figures for the December distribution. 13
Section 14. On or before such date as shall be established by the state treasurer, each14
tax collector, the city of New Orleans, and the city treasurer of the city of Monroe annually15
shall file with the state treasurer, on such forms as the state treasurer may require, all16
information necessary to the computation of the funds to be distributed within the parishes,17
including, but not limited to, a listing of all such local entities seeking eligibility for funds18
as a tax recipient body under the qualifications set out in Section 1(a), all new millages of19
such tax recipient bodies as are listed in Section 9(B), and all remaining authorities on the20
tax rolls which are otherwise ineligible to participate in the distribution of revenue sharing21
funds as tax recipient bodies. The listing shall include such verification for eligibility as22
may be required by the state treasurer and, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1223
hereof, no revenue sharing funds shall be distributed prior to receipt and acceptance by the24
state treasurer of such information and verification. The same authorities shall in the same25
manner submit to the state treasurer a statement of the amount of revenue sharing funds26
distributed to each recipient of such funds, including the amount deducted for sheriffs'27
commissions and for retirement system contributions and shall state clearly on such forms28
the amount of the distribution to each such recipient which is derived from excess funds and29
the amount of such distribution which represents reimbursement for tax losses by reasons30 ENROLLEDHB NO. 594

of the homestead exemption. Such statement shall also include the amount of any revenue1
sharing funds which remain to be distributed and the recipients to which such remaining2
funds will be distributed.3
