As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the Department of Revenue shall allocate among the several municipalities and counties of this State the amount available in the Local Government Distributive Fund and in the Income Tax Surcharge Local Government Distributive Fund, determined as provided in Sections 1 and 1a above.

The amount of such Funds allocable to each such municipality and county shall be in proportion to the number of individual residents of such municipality or county to the total population of the State, determined in each case on the basis of the latest census of the State, municipality or county conducted by the Federal government and certified by the Secretary of State and for annexations to municipalities, the latest Federal, State or municipal census of the annexed area which has been certified by the Department of Revenue. Allocations to the City of Chicago under this Section are subject to Section 6 of the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act. For the purpose of this Section, the number of individual residents of a county shall be reduced by the number of individuals residing therein in municipalities, but the number of individual residents of the State, county and municipality shall reflect the latest census of any of them. The amounts transferred into the Local Government Distributive Fund pursuant to Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, and Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, each as now or hereafter amended, pursuant to the amendments of such Sections by Public Act 85-1135, shall be distributed as provided in said Sections.
