The amount allocated to a unit of general local government for a payment period may not exceed the adjusted taxes imposed by the unit of general local government as determined under section 6705(b)(3). 1 Amounts in excess of adjusted taxes shall be paid to the Governor of the State in which the unit of local government is located. 1 So in original. Probably should be section “6705(c)(3).” If the amount allocated to a unit of general local government (except an Indian tribe or an Alaskan native 2 village) for a payment period would be less than $5,000 but for this subsection or is waived by the governing authority of the unit of general local government, the Secretary shall pay the amount to the Governor of the State in which the unit is located. 2 So in original. Probably should be capitalized. The Governor of a State shall use all amounts paid to the Governor under subsections (a) and (b) for programs described in section 6701(a)(2) in areas of the State where are located the units of general local government with respect to which amounts are paid under subsection (b). shall not be paid to the tribe or village (except under paragraph (2)); and shall be aggregated with other such amounts and available for use by the Attorney General under paragraph (2). programs described in section 6701(a)(2); or renovating or building prisons or other correctional facilities.
