(1) On or before February 10, 1995, and the tenth day of each succeeding month thereafter, the State Tax Commission shall make payments from the Motor Vehicle Ad Valorem Tax Reduction Fund established in Section 27-51-105 to the county tax collectors for distribution to the local taxing districts as reimbursement for motor vehicle ad valorem taxes that are lost during the preceding month as a result of the ad valorem tax credit for private carriers of passengers and light carriers of property that is provided for by Section 27-51-103. The amount that each local taxing district will receive for each month under this subsection shall be determined by the State Tax Commission based on documentation provided by the tax collectors under guidelines established by the commission.

(2) On or before the twentieth day of the month that the payments from the commission under subsection (1) of this section are received, the county tax collectors shall remit the appropriate amount of such payments to the local taxing districts for which the county tax collector collects motor vehicle ad valorem taxes. When an ad valorem tax credit that is allowed to a taxpayer is not paid by the commission in the payment for the month in which such credit is allowed, the tax collector shall remit the payment for such credit to the local taxing authority on or before the twentieth day of the month that payment for such credit is received from the commission.

(3) Funds received by local taxing districts from the payments under subsection (1) of this section shall be considered to be, and shall be used in the same manner as, the proceeds of motor vehicle ad valorem taxes.
