471.810. (1) At the end of each month, the Oregon Liquor
Control Commission shall certify the amount of moneys available
for distribution in the Oregon Liquor Control Commission Account
and, after withholding such moneys as it may deem necessary to
pay its outstanding obligations, shall within 35 days of the
month for which a distribution is made direct the State Treasurer
to pay the amounts due, upon warrants drawn by the Oregon
Department of Administrative Services, as follows:
(a) Fifty-six percent, or the amount remaining after the
distribution under subsection (4) of this section, credited to
the General Fund available for general governmental purposes
wherein it shall be considered as revenue during the quarter
immediately preceding receipt;
(b) Twenty percent to the cities of the state in such shares as
the population of each city bears to the population of the cities
of the state, as determined by the State Board of Higher
Education last preceding such apportionment, under ORS 190.510 to
190.610;
(c) Ten percent to counties in such shares as their respective
populations bear to the total population of the state, as
estimated from time to time by the State Board of Higher
Education; and
(d) Fourteen percent to the cities of the state to be
distributed as provided in ORS 221.770 and this section.
(2) The commission shall direct the Oregon Department of
Administrative Services to transfer 50 percent of the revenues
from the taxes imposed by ORS 473.030 and 473.035 to the Mental
Health Alcoholism and Drug Services Account in the General Fund
to be paid monthly as provided in ORS 430.380.
(3) If the amount of revenues received from the taxes imposed
by ORS 473.030 for the preceding month was reduced as a result of
credits claimed under ORS 473.047, the commission shall compute
the difference between the amounts paid or transferred as
described in subsections (1)(b), (c) and (d) and (2) of this
section and the amounts that would have been paid or transferred
under subsections (1)(b), (c) and (d) and (2) of this section if
no credits had been claimed. The commission shall direct the
Oregon Department of Administrative Services to pay or transfer
amounts equal to the differences computed for subsections (1)(b),

recipients or accounts described in subsections (1)(b), (c) and
(d) and (2) of this section.
(4) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, no city or

Any additional funds required to maintain the level of
distribution under this subsection shall be paid from funds
credited under subsection (1)(a) of this section.
