Article 7. United States Flood Control Receipts Fund of California Government Code >> Division 4. >> Title 2. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 7.

All money received by the State from the United States in pursuance of any act of Congress providing for the distribution and payment to states and territories of a fixed percentage of the money received by the United States from the land acquired in the State for flood control purposes shall be credited to the United States Flood Control Receipts Fund, which fund is continued in the State Treasury, and shall be disposed of, pursuant to the act of Congress, by the payment of the money to the several counties in which the flood control lands are situated. The payments made to each county from the receipts of any given parcel of federal flood control land shall be in the proportion which the area of the parcel situated in the county bears to the total area of such parcel.

The Controller shall keep a record of the money received from the United States on account of the federal flood control land in each county in this State. On or before June 30th of each year, he shall draw his warrant in favor of the treasurer of each county entitled to payment pursuant to this article. The Treasurer shall pay the warrants. All money deposited in the United States Flood Control Receipts Fund is appropriated to be apportioned to the counties of this State pursuant to this article.

The auditor of any county receiving a payment of money pursuant to this article shall immediately apportion the money by placing 50 percent to the credit of the road fund. The remaining 50 percent shall be divided between school and community college districts where the lands are located, with the division based on attendance. The portion attributable to school districts shall be placed to the credit of the county school service fund of the county. The portion attributable to community college districts shall be paid directly to the district.
