§6707 State Variation of Local Government Allocations

Summary

A State may make its own rule for dividing money to local governments using population times either the local tax effort or income gap (or both), like the methods in sections 6705(a) and (b). The State must notify the Secretary by the 30th day before the start of the first payment period when the new rule will be used. Any change must still give out the same total amount that sections 6705(a) and (b) would and must be used the same way across the whole State. The change can only take effect if the Secretary certifies it meets these rules. The Secretary will certify only if the notice arrives at least 30 days before that first payment period.
