  3 10 or more, a withholding factor of 100 percent.
  3 11    3.  The total withholding amounts applied pursuant
  3 12 to subsection 2 shall be equal to a withholding target
  3 13 amount of $15,554,307 and the appropriations made in
  3 14 this Act for the MH/DD community services fund and for
  3 15 MH/MR/DD allowed growth as amended in section 101 of
  3 16 this Act, shall each be reduced by 50 percent of the
  3 17 withholding target amount.  If the department of human
  3 18 services determines that the amount to be withheld in
  3 19 accordance with subsection 2 is not equal to the
  3 20 target withholding amount, the department shall adjust
  3 21 the ending balance percentage ranges listed in
  3 22 subsection 2, as necessary to achieve the withholding
  3 23 target amount.
  3 24    4.  Only those counties that are in compliance with

  3 28 under this section.  The amount that would otherwise
  3 29 be available for distribution to a county that fails
  3 30 to so comply shall be proportionately distributed
  3 31 among the eligible counties.
  3 32    5.  The department of human services shall
  3 33 authorize the issuance of warrants payable to the
  3 34 county treasurer for the distribution amounts due to
  3 35 the counties eligible under this section and
  3 36 notwithstanding prior practice for the MH/DD community
  3 37 services fund, the warrants shall be issued in January
  3 38 2002."
