 36        (2)  All moneys except as provided in subsection (1) of this section,  and
 37    except  as hereinafter provided, received by the state of Idaho under this act
 38    shall be deposited by the state tax commission, as received by  it,  with  the

 40    account under the custody of the state treasurer. Providing however,  that  an
 41    amount  equal  to  twenty percent (20%) of the amount deposited with the state
                                                                        
                                           2
                                                                        
  1    treasurer shall be placed in the "state refund account" which is  hereby  cre-
  2    ated for the purpose of repaying overpayments, for the purpose of remitting to
  3    counties  and taxing districts for personal property exempt from taxation pur-
  4    suant to section 63-602EE, Idaho Code, as provided in subsection (3)  of  this
  5    section, for the purpose of depositing in the trust accounts specified in sec-
  6    tion  63-3067A,  Idaho  Code, such amounts as may be designated by individuals
  7    for the purpose of depositing in the Idaho ag  in  the  classroom  account  an
  8    amount  as  may  be  designated  by the individual receiving a refund for such
  9    overpayment, and for the purpose of paying any other erroneous receipts  ille-
 10    gally  assessed  or collected, penalties collected without authority and taxes
 11    and licenses unjustly assessed, collected or which are  excessive  in  amount.
 12    Whenever  necessary  for  the purpose of making prompt payment of refunds, the
 13    board of examiners, upon request from the  state  tax  commission,  and  after
 14    review, may authorize the state tax commission to transfer any additional spe-
 15    cific  amount from income tax collections to the "state refund account." There
 16    is appropriated out of the state refund account so much thereof as may be nec-
 17    essary for the payment of the refunds herein provided. Claims for, and payment
 18    of refunds under the provisions of this section shall be made in the same man-
 19    ner as other claims against the state of Idaho.
 20        (3)  The state tax commission shall calculate the amount that each  county
 21    assessed  in  taxes  in tax year 2000 on property that is exempt from taxation
 22    pursuant to section 63-602EE, Idaho Code, and shall remit to the county  trea-
 23    surer  for  distribution to each taxing district in the county one hundred six
 24    percent (106%) of the amount calculated as follows:
 25        The county commissioners in each county shall certify  to  the  state  tax
 26    commission  by July 1, 2001, the year 2000 tax charge, applicable to the prop-
 27    erty exempt from taxation pursuant to section 63-602EE, Idaho  Code,  provided
 28    that  such  property was categorized in year 2000 as farm machinery, tools and
 29    equipment pursuant to rules of the state tax commission, for  the  portion  of
 30    each  taxing  district  or unit within the county. For nonschool districts the
 31    state tax commission shall distribute one-fourth (1/4) of this  amount  certi-
 32    fied  quarterly to each county beginning in October 2001. For school districts
 33    the state tax commission shall distribute one-fourth (1/4) of the amount  cer-
 34    tified  quarterly  to each school district beginning in October 2001. For non-
 35    school districts, the  county  auditor  shall  distribute  to  each   district
 36    within  thirty  (30) calendar days from receipt of moneys from the tax commis-
 37    sion. Moneys received by each taxing district for replacement  shall  be  uti-
 38    lized in the same manner and in the same proportions as revenues from property
 39    taxation. The moneys remitted to the county treasurer for replacement of prop-
 40    erty  exempt  from  taxation  pursuant to section 63-602EE, Idaho Code, may be
 41    considered by the counties and other taxing districts and budgeted at the same
 42    time, in the same manner and in the same year as  revenues  from  taxation  on
 43    personal property which these moneys replace. If taxing districts are consoli-
 44    dated, the resulting district is entitled to an amount equal to the sum of the
 45    amounts which were received in the last calendar quarter by each district pur-
 46    suant  to  this subsection prior to the consolidation. If a taxing district is
 47    dissolved or disincorporated, the state tax commission shall continuously dis-
 48    tribute to the board of county commissioners  an  amount  equal  to  the  last
 49    quarter's  distribution prior to dissolution or disincorporation. The board of
 50    county commissioners shall determine any redistribution of moneys so received.
 51    If a taxing district annexes territory, the distribution  of  moneys  received
 52    pursuant to this subsection shall be unaffected. Taxing districts formed after
 53    January  1,  2001,  are not entitled to a payment under the provisions of this
 54    subsection. School districts shall receive an amount determined by multiplying
 55    the sum of the year 2000 school district levy plus .001 times the market value
                                                                        
                                           3
                                                                        
  1    on December 31, 2000, in the district of the  property  exempt  from  taxation
  2    pursuant  to section 63-602EE, Idaho Code. For purposes of the limitation pro-
  3    vided by section 63-802, Idaho Code, moneys received pursuant to this  subsec-
  4    tion as property tax replacement for property exempt from taxation pursuant to
  5    section 63-602EE, Idaho Code, shall be treated as property tax revenues.
  6        (4)  Any  unencumbered  balance  remaining  in the state refund account on
  7    June 30 of each and every year in excess of the sum of one million  five  hun-
  8    dred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) shall be transferred to the general account
  9    fund  and the state controller is hereby authorized and directed on such dates
 10    to make such transfers unless the board of examiners, which is  hereby  autho-
 11    rized to do so, changes the date of transfer or sum to be transferred.
                                                                        
 12        SECTION  3.  An  emergency  existing  therefor,  which emergency is hereby
 13    declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and  effect  on  and  after
 14    passage and approval, and retroactively to January 1, 2001.
