(a)      After making the distributions required under §§ 2-604 through 2-606 of this subtitle, from the remaining income tax revenue from individuals, the Comptroller shall distribute to each special taxing district that received an income tax revenue distribution in fiscal year 1977 and to each municipal corporation an amount that, based on the certification of the Comptroller as to State income tax liability and county income tax liability of the residents of the district or municipal corporation, equals the greater of:

            (1)      subject to subsection (b) of this section, 17% of the county income tax liability of those residents; or

            (2)      0.37% of the Maryland taxable income of those residents.

      (b)      If the county income tax rate for a county is less than 2.6%, the amount determined under subsection (a)(1) of this section shall be multiplied by a fraction:

            (1)      the numerator of which is 2.6%; and

            (2)      the denominator of which is the county income tax rate for the county.

      (c)      The Comptroller shall adjust the amount distributed under subsection (a) of this section to a municipal corporation or special taxing district to allow for a proportionate part of refund and interest payments for a prior calendar year made after a distribution is made to the municipal corporation or district for that year.
