3. The department of economic development shall annually disburse funds from the state supplemental downtown development fund in amounts determined pursuant to the certificates of approval for projects, providing that the amounts of other net new revenues generated from the development area have been verified and all of the conditions of sections 99.915 to 99.980 are met.
If the revenues appropriated from the state supplemental downtown development fund are not sufficient to equal the amounts determined to be disbursed pursuant to such certificates of approval, the department of economic development shall disburse the revenues on a pro rata basis to all such projects and other costs approved pursuant to section 99.960 .
4. In no event shall the amounts distributed to a project from the state supplemental downtown development fund exceed the lessor of the amount of the certificates of approval for projects or the actual other net new revenues generated by the projects.

Taxpayers in any development area who are required to remit sales taxes pursuant to chapter 144 or income tax withholdings pursuant to chapter 143 shall provide additional information to the department of revenue in a form prescribed by the department by rule. Such information shall include but shall not be limited to information upon which other net new revenues can be calculated, and shall include the number of new jobs, the gross payroll for such jobs, and sales tax generated in the development area by such taxpayer in the baseline year and during the time period related to the withholding or sales tax remittance.
9. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010 , that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028 . This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2003, shall be invalid and void.
