The state treasurer shall thereupon make payments to each taxing unit in that amount and on each succeeding tax day for 10 years after the first tax day following the effective date of this act, the treasurer shall make further payments to each taxing unit but reduced by 1/10 per year from the amount originally paid. Provided further that any payment to be made to a taxing jurisdiction under this act shall be reduced by the amount of payments made for that land by the federal government within the boundaries of the federally designated parks during the preceding federal fiscal year.
