In each county of the State of Mississippi which is a member of the Pearl River Basin Development District, beginning with the ad valorem tax assessment for the year 1968, payable on or before February 1, 1969, and so long thereafter as there remains unpaid and outstanding any bonded indebtedness or other obligations of the district, the tax collector of each such county shall pay into the depository selected by the district for said purpose the amount of two mills of all ad valorem taxes due by said county to the State of Mississippi, which is collected by the tax collector of said county, or which may be collected by any other lawful taxing agency of said county or state, for said county; and the State of Mississippi shall continue to levy not less than two mills ad valorem taxes on each county in the district so long as any bonds or obligations issued pursuant to this chapter remain outstanding. In those counties which are members of the district and which on June 1, 1964, have already otherwise committed and are retaining the amount of two mills or some lesser amount of ad valorem taxes due by said county to the State of Mississippi for some other authorized purpose, the tax collector shall pay into the depository of the district under this section only the difference, if any, between the amount of two mills and the amount thus committed and retained for some other authorized purpose for so long as such other authorized purpose shall continue, and thereafter shall pay into the depository of the district the full two mills. The tax provided for support of the district in this section is in addition to the sum equal to one-half ( 1/2) mill provided for in Section 51-11-31.
