County mining tax payments extended to 2035

The law keeps county payments from the metal mines license tax going. It continues the statutory appropriation that sends this money to counties. These payments now run through June 30, 2035. Most parts of the 2015 act end June 30, 2027, but Section 1 stays active through June 30, 2035. The law does not change tax rates or add new dollar amounts; it extends current rules.
