Within thirty days after June 30, 1971, and each year thereafter, the department shall certify to the Director of Administrative Services all amounts not previously certified due to each state institution from the several counties having patients chargeable thereto. The Director of Administrative Services shall thereupon notify the county clerk of each county of the amount each county owes. The county board shall add to its next levy an amount sufficient to raise the amount certified as due. The county shall pay the amount certified into the state treasury on or before the next June 1 following such certification.

From any county which fails to pay the total amount certified as due annually by the next June 1 following certification, there shall be withheld by the State Treasurer from the next allocation to such county due under the provisions of section 77-27,137.03 an amount sufficient to equal the amount unpaid from such county which amount shall be deducted from the county's portion and not the municipalities' under section 77-27,137.01. The State Treasurer shall credit the amount withheld the same as if the county had paid it when due as above provided.
