22    Department shall notify  the  State  Comptroller,  who  shall
23    cause  the order to be drawn for the amount specified, and to
24    the person named, in such notification from  the  Department.

30    and  counties,  the  municipalities  and counties to be those

 5    not  including  an amount equal to the amount of refunds made
 6    during the second preceding calendar month by the Department,
 7    and not including any amount which the Department  determines
 8    is  necessary  to  offset  any amounts which are payable to a
 9    different taxing  body  but  were  erroneously  paid  to  the
10    municipality or county.  Within 10 days after receipt, by the
11    Comptroller,   of   the  disbursement  certification  to  the
12    municipalities and counties,  provided for in this Section to
13    be  given  to  the  Comptroller  by   the   Department,   the
14    Comptroller  shall  cause  the  orders  to  be  drawn for the
15    respective  amounts  in  accordance   with   the   directions
16    contained in such certification.

18    municipality or county under  this  Section,  the  Department
19    shall increase or decrease that amount by an amount necessary
20    to  offset  any  misallocation of previous disbursements. The
21    offset amount  shall  be  the  amount  erroneously  disbursed
22    within  the  6  months  preceding the time a misallocation is
23    discovered.
24        The  provisions  directing  the  distributions  from  the
25    special fund in the  State  Treasury  provided  for  in  this
26    Section   shall  constitute  an  irrevocable  and  continuing
27    appropriation of all amounts as provided  herein.  The  State
28    Treasurer and State Comptroller are hereby authorized to make
29    distributions as provided in this Section.
30        In construing any development, redevelopment, annexation,
31    preannexation  or  other  lawful agreement in effect prior to

25    municipality  to  the  unincorporated  area of a county or to
26    another municipality or (ii) from the unincorporated area  of
27    a  county  to a municipality or to the unincorporated area of

29    amount attributable to sales for which Illinois addresses for
30    titling  or  registration purposes are given as being in that
31    county.  Each county  where the retailer makes the sale shall
