12    butions made on and after October 1 of the year for which the

13    respective census is conducted.  Once the official population

14    data from a federal decennial statewide census, federal

15    mid-decade statewide census, or special statewide census provided

16    by law is certified and published, the department of management

17    and budget shall calculate any overpayment or underpayment made

18    to a local unit of government since the effective date of the

19    respective census and make adjustments in future distributions to

20    the local unit of government to correct these overpayments or

21    underpayments of revenue distributed pursuant to this act.

22         (2) "Rate" means a figure determined each May 15 by the

23    department of management and budget pursuant to this act from

24    applicable tax data for the preceding calendar year as reported

25    to it by the department of treasury and applicable to payments

26    made during the succeeding period of July 1 to June 30.
