BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
    Section 1. That § 10-35-21 be amended to read as follows:
    10-35-21. The secretary shall distribute all of the tax deposited in the wind energy tax fund pursuant to § 10-35-18 and twenty percent of the tax deposited in the wind energy tax fund pursuant to § 10-35-19 to the county treasurer where the wind farm is located. If the wind energy tax fund contains less than twenty percent of the gross receipts tax from § 10-35-19, due to the transmission line rebate under § 10-35-22, the secretary shall distribute the remainder of funds after the rebate to the county treasurer where the wind farm is located. If a wind farm is located in more than one county, each county shall receive the same percentage of the tax as the percentage of wind towers in the wind farm located in the county. Upon receipt of the taxes, the county auditor shall apportion the tax among the school districts, the county, and the organized townships where a wind tower is located. The tax shall be apportioned by the county auditor by allocating fifty percent of the tax to the school district where each wind tower is located, fifteen percent to the organized township where each wind tower is located, and thirty-five percent to the county. If a wind tower is located in a township that is not organized, the unorganized township's share of the tax for that wind tower is allocated to the county. The secretary shall distribute the money to the counties on or before the first day of May.
