4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Beginning July 1, 2026, the state transfers 8% of last year’s state sales and use taxes to the Office of State Lands and Investments. The pool is split: 89% main share (two‑thirds to cities and towns, one‑third to counties), plus 5.5% for cities and towns and 5.5% for counties. A small set‑aside in the city share helps revenue‑challenged towns. The Office uses the Department of Revenue’s prior‑year collections to compute each year’s amounts.
Each city or town gets a base payment: $15,000 for places with 35 people or fewer, and $35,000 for larger places. The rest is split by a formula that favors lower per‑person sales tax and lower per‑person property value, with a 75%/25% weight. A separate set‑aside lifts below‑quartile cities and towns toward the 25th percentile per person. Population comes from the most recent federal census. Cities and towns get two equal payments each year, on October 15 and March 15, based on last fiscal year’s revenues.
Counties are paid in two equal installments each year, on October 15 and March 15, using last fiscal year’s revenues. Counties with less than $300,000 per mill get a minimum equalization payment equal to three times the gap. The remaining money is split by a formula that favors lower per‑person sales tax and lower per‑person property value. The formula also uses a cost‑of‑government index: 628 × county population + $9,900,000.
Cities, towns, and counties cannot use these dollars for pay raises, new hires, or higher employee benefits. They also cannot pay appointed board members unless another law already requires it.
