(b) Add sufficient aid funds that are available under this subdivision to raise the amount
of the county or participating portion of a county with the lowest value calculated according

sufficient to raise the amount of a county or participating portion of a county and the amount
of counties and participating portions of counties with lower values up to the amount of the
next highest county or participating portion of a county.

remaining aid funds under this subdivision are not adequate for raising the amount of a
county or participating portion of a county and all counties and participating portions of
counties with amounts of lower value to the amount of the county or participating portion
of a county with the next highest value, those funds are to be divided on a per capita basis
for all counties or participating portions of counties that received aid funds under the
calculation in paragraphs (b) and (c).
