(2) Transfer seventy-four percent of the money deposited in the fund to the South Dakota 911 coordination fund.
The Department of Public Safety shall base the allocation of money for population on the most recent decennial census of the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census and the population estimate published by the United States Census Bureau for each year ending in five. The Department of Public Safety shall make distributions from the public safety 911 emergency fund each quarter.
