The principal of and interest on the warrants issued under the provisions of this division are hereby declared to be lawful costs of the equalization program referred to in Division 1 of this article and to be lawful and necessary governmental costs of the assessment and collection of ad valorem taxes levied in the county issuing said warrants required by law to be paid as part of the current governmental operating expenses of each tax recipient body receiving proceeds from ad valorem taxation in said county. The principal and interest shall be paid pro rata by each such tax recipient of such county and by the State of Alabama in the proportions which the amount of ad valorem tax received by each tax recipient body, including the State of Alabama, bears to the total amount of ad valorem tax received by all. For that purpose, the tax collector of each county issuing warrants under this division is hereby ordered and directed to withhold and pay over to said county, from the gross proceeds of each annual collection of ad valorem taxes on property in said county, the pro rata shares to be borne by each tax recipient body of the principal of and interest on said warrants maturing in that same fiscal year. The said shares shall be payable solely out of the proceeds from said ad valorem taxes collected during the then current fiscal year and allocable to each tax recipient body, including the State of Alabama. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, the principal of and interest on any warrants issued under the provisions of this division shall, in any and all events, be payable as general obligations of said county and from any taxes, revenues, or funds referred to in Section 40-7-93 that may have been specifically pledged for such payment, regardless of the sufficiency for any reason whatsoever of the payment to the county of the aforesaid pro rata shares by or in behalf of any other tax recipient body.
