liability; provided, however, the State shall have no liability to any one municipality

when the sum of its liability is less than $1,000.00, and no municipality shall receive

an in lieu payment from the State greater than an amount equal to 35% of the local

purpose tax levy, which for the purposes of this act shall include revenues which

are used for municipal purposes and derived from tax abated properties, for the year

for which the calculations are made; provided, however, that in any calendar year
