- Fiscal year: The fiscal year is the accounting period for the government. For the federal government, this begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
A. If, by June 30, 2022 and by June 30 of each fiscal year thereafter, the net receipts for that fiscal year of the money received by the state pursuant to the federal Mineral Leasing Act exceed the annual average amount, the excess shall be distributed to the early childhood education and care fund and attributed to that fiscal year. If there is an excess amount, the distribution shall be made as soon as practicable. If there is not an excess amount, no distribution shall be made to the fund. The department of finance and administration shall make the calculation to determine if an excess amount shall be distributed.
B. As used in this section, “annual average amount” means the total net receipts attributable to money received by the state pursuant to the federal Mineral Leasing Act in the immediately preceding five fiscal years, divided by five.
