4 distribute, within fifteen days after receipt thereof, to the tax recipient bodies within his

7 in 1977, the amount available for the reimbursement of homestead exemption losses shall
8 be limited to the amount used for that purpose in 1977, adjusted by the percentage by which
9 the number of homesteads in the parish increased or decreased from 1977 to 2014, together

17 exemption losses in 1977 on the Orleans Levee District's two mill tax. The remaining
18 amount shall be adjusted by the percentage by which the number of homesteads in the city
19 of New Orleans increased or decreased from 1977 to 2014, together with any additional
20 taxing bodies or millages authorized to participate on the same pro rata basis under the
21 provisions of Section 9(B) of this Act.
22 B. For purposes of this Subsection only, tax recipient bodies shall mean and include
23 any recipient of funds hereunder, but limited solely to such specified disbursements. The
24 millages listed are included solely as an identification aid for administrative purposes and
25 the new tax approved by the electorate shall be eligible for distribution hereunder, regardless
26 of fluctuations in millage caused by adjustments for reassessment or other purposes. In no
27 event shall any amount be deemed available within the meaning of Article VII, Section 26
28 of the Constitution of Louisiana to reimburse losses attributable to homestead exemptions
29 for taxes authorized after January 1, 1978, and any renewals thereof, with the following

24 Section 13. The state treasurer shall distribute one-third of the total amount herein
25 allocated to the parishes from the revenue sharing fund to the parish tax collector, or in
26 Orleans Parish to the city of New Orleans, not later than the first day of December in each
27 year, one-third thereof not later than the fifteenth day of March in each year and one-third
28 thereof not later than the fifteenth day of May in each year, and each one-third of the total
29 allocation shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6, 7, 9, and 10
30 of this Act; however, the legislative auditor may authorize the granting of additional sums

1 due any recipient in advance upon a showing that the advance receipt of such funds is
2 reasonably necessary. If the state treasurer does not distribute said fund on or before the
3 dates specified in this Act, any interest or other income derived by the state from the parish
4 allocations, earned prior to the distribution to the parishes, shall be paid over a pro rata basis
5 together with the principal amounts due the parishes under the provisions of this Act. Any
6 interest or other income derived by the parish tax collector or the city of New Orleans from
7 the investment or other use of such total parish allocations received from the state treasurer,
8 earned prior to the distributions within the parish as required by the foregoing provisions of
9 this Act, shall be paid over a pro rata basis together with the principal amounts due the local
10 recipients under the provisions of this Act upon distribution thereto, and the parish tax
11 collectors or the city of New Orleans may retain only investment income earned on that
12 portion of the total parish allocation to which they are otherwise entitled under the provisions
13 of this Act. In light of the fact that all assessment roll figures will not be available in time
14 to base the December distribution by the treasurer on current figures, the distribution of
15 funds on the first day of December pursuant to this Act shall be based on the distribution
16 figures for Fiscal Year 2013-2014. The remaining two distributions on the fifteenth day of
17 March and the fifteenth day of May shall be based on current figures for Fiscal Year 2014-
18 2015, and such distributions shall be adjusted to compensate for the differences resulting in
19 the use of the Fiscal Year 2013-2014 figures for the December distribution.
20 Section 14. On or before such date as shall be established by the state treasurer, each
21 tax collector, the city of New Orleans, and the city treasurer of the city of Monroe annually
22 shall file with the state treasurer, on such forms as the state treasurer may require, all
23 information necessary to the computation of the funds to be distributed within the parishes,
24 including, but not limited to, a listing of all such local entities seeking eligibility for funds
25 as a tax recipient body under the qualifications set out in Section 1(a), all new millages of
26 such tax recipient bodies as are listed in Section 9(B), and all remaining authorities on the
27 tax rolls which are otherwise ineligible to participate in the distribution of revenue sharing
28 funds as tax recipient bodies. The listing shall include such verification for eligibility as
29 may be required by the state treasurer and, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12
30 hereof, no revenue sharing funds shall be distributed prior to receipt and acceptance by the

5 the amount of the distribution to each such recipient which is derived from excess funds and
6 the amount of such distribution which represents reimbursement for tax losses by reasons
7 f the homestead exemption. Such statement shall also include the amount of any revenue
8 sharing funds which remain to be distributed and the recipients to which such remaining
9 funds will be distributed.
