§ 8-404. Computation of amount of highway user revenues - For county.

(a)  Basis of distribution.- Highway user revenues shall be allocated to the counties: 

(1) One half on a county road mileage basis, as provided in subsection (b)(1) of this section; and 

(2) One half on a motor vehicle registration basis, as provided in subsection (b)(2) of this section. 

(b)  Gross amount of allocation.- The Administration shall allocate for the account of each county, out of the highway user revenues provided for under § 8-403 of this subtitle, its gross share, to be determined by adding: 

(1) The amount that results from applying to one half of these highway user revenues the ratio that, as of December 1 of the preceding calendar year, the total mileage of county roads in the county bears to the total mileage of county roads in all of the counties; and 

(2) The amount that results from applying to one half of these highway user revenues the ratio that, as of December 1 of the preceding calendar year, the total number of motor vehicles registered to owners having addresses in the county bears to the total number of motor vehicles registered to owners in all the counties. 

(c)  Minimum amount of allocation.- The allocation of highway user revenues to a county under subsection (b) of this section may not be less than the amount allocated to the county from highway user revenue sources in the fiscal year that began July 1, 1967. 

(d)  Net amount of allocation.- From each county's share of highway user revenues determined under this section, the Administration shall deduct the amount of highway user revenues allocated to any municipality in the county under § 8-405 of this subtitle. The resulting amount is the county's net share of highway user revenues.
