 8        Sec.  20-130.   Distribution of taxes in counties of less
 9    than 3,000,000; return of erroneous distribution.
10        (a)  All distributions of taxes  collected  and  interest
11    earned thereon by a county on behalf of taxing districts must
12    be  made  by the county treasurer, in counties with less than
13    3,000,000 inhabitants, within 30 days after the due date  and
14    at  30  days  intervals  thereafter,  unless the amount to be
15    distributed is less than  $5.   The  county  treasurer  shall
16    distribute the taxes collected at the next 30-day interval if
17    the  taxes  collected are $5 or more.  If the tax collections
18    for a taxing district are less  than  $5  for  3  consecutive
19    30-day  intervals,  the  county treasurer shall automatically
20    distribute  the  taxes  collected  to  the  unit   of   local
21    government   on   the  third  30-day  interval.   The  county
22    treasurer  shall  determine   the   manner   in   which   all
23    distributions  under this Section are to be made.  The manner
24    of distribution may include, but is not limited to, check  or
25    electronic funds transfer.
26        (b)  Notwithstanding  any other law to the contrary, if a
27    county makes an erroneous distribution of taxes collected and
28    interest earned thereon, upon majority vote of the  governing
29    board  of  the  taxing  district  that received the erroneous
30    distribution, the taxing district shall return the  funds  to
31    the county treasurer.
