 (B) In addition to amounts distributed pursuant to Section 6-27-40(B), eleven percent of the revenue generated by the excise tax provided for in subsection (A) must be placed on deposit with the State Treasurer and credited to a fund separate and distinct from the general fund of the State. On a quarterly basis, the State Treasurer shall allocate this revenue to the Department of Health Financing counties on a per capita basis according to the most recent United States Census. The State Treasurer must notify each county of the allocation pursuant to this subsection in addition to the funds allocated pursuant to Section 6-27-40(B), and the combination of these funds must be used by counties for educational purposes relating to the use of alcoholic liquors and for reimbursement of services related to the rehabilitation of alcoholics and drug addictspeople with substance or alcohol use disorder. A county may pool these funds with other counties and may combine these funds with other funds for the same purpose.

Amend the bill further, on page [915-78], by deleting Section 6-27-40.
