(a) The privilege license tax levied hereunder, except where otherwise provided, shall be due and payable in monthly installments on or before the twentieth day of the month next succeeding the month in which the privilege license tax accrues. On or before such twentieth day, every person on whom the amounts levied hereunder are imposed shall render to the county, on a form or forms prescribed by the county commission or State Department of Revenue, a true and correct statement showing the gross proceeds of his or her business for the next preceding month, the amount of gross proceeds which are not subject to the privilege license tax, or are not to be used as a measurement of the amounts due by such person and the nature thereof, together with such other information as the county commission may require, and at the time of making such monthly report such person shall compute the privilege license taxes due and shall pay the Baldwin County Commission the amounts shown to be due. All taxes of the county shall be deposited into the general fund of the county treasury to be distributed as follows:

(1) Seventy-five percent shall be distributed to the county general fund to be expended, as approved by the Baldwin County Commission, for general purposes; however, and per fiscal year from the foregoing distribution, the Baldwin County Commission shall appropriate one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) into a separate county fund to be used for the operation of the Baldwin County Legislative Office, established by Section 45-2-190, including, but not limited to, office equipment, communication equipment, salary supplements for personnel of the legislative delegation office, training, and official public travel for members of the Baldwin County Legislative Delegation and personnel of the legislative delegation office and other expenses deemed appropriate only by written direction provided the Baldwin County Commission by the members of the Baldwin County Legislative Delegation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the expenses for official travel shall not exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000) per member per year and shall be subject to periodic audits by the Examiners of Public Accounts.

(2) Ten percent shall be distributed into a separate county fund to be expended, as approved by the Baldwin County Commission in a resolution spread upon its minutes, for the Historic Blakeley Authority. Of the funds distributed to the Historic Blakeley Authority annually, twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) shall be expended by the authority for the preservation, restoration, and interpretation of Fort Mims and of the remaining funds 50 percent shall be expended for capital improvement. Notwithstanding the foregoing earmarking of expenditures for the Historic Blakeley Authority for capital outlay, in any fiscal year that the authority adds to and supplements its lease tax revenue with contributions of capital expansion funds or other equivalent capital contributions of real or personal property from other sources, an amount of funds from this section earmarked for capital outlay equal to 50 percent of the additional contributions for capital outlay or equivalent capital contributions may be expended for operations in lieu of expending for capital outlay. Disbursements shall be made quarterly to the Historic Blakeley Authority.

(3) Fifteen percent shall be distributed into the Baldwin County Community Capital Fund, which is hereby established, to be expended only upon the unanimous direction of the members of the Baldwin County Legislative Delegation and for public purposes, not otherwise provided for by law, that in their judgment are worthy, for the best interest of the county, and promote the economic well-being of the citizens of Baldwin County and may specifically include projects at the Fort Morgan State Historic Site. Any unexpended balance in the fund at the end of the county fiscal year shall remain in the fund and shall not revert to any other state or local fund.

(4) Privilege or license taxes collected and expended under authority of this subpart shall be audited by the Examiners of Public Accounts.

(b) If any person subject hereto should fail to render any report, return, statement, or form required hereby or should willfully make false statement of facts in the report, return, statement, or form required hereunder, he or she shall upon conviction be punished by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500) for each violation of this section.
