(5) Beginning with the annual general appropriation act for the 2019-20 state fiscal year, and for each annual general appropriation act thereafter, money distributed to the association pursuant to subsection (1) of this section shall be included for informational purposes in the annual general appropriation bill or in supplemental appropriation bills for the purpose of complying with the limitation on state fiscal year spending imposed by section 20 of article X of the state constitution and section 24-77-103.
