This section shall apply to the allocations made from the Local Revenue Fund 2011 for the 2015-16 fiscal year, and each fiscal year thereafter, which shall include cash received beginning on August 16 of each fiscal year.

(4) After the allocations are made pursuant to subdivision (a) and paragraphs (1) and (2), any remaining funds shall be allocated to the Sales and Use Tax Growth Account.
(d) Notwithstanding subdivision (c), if the Department of Finance estimates that the Enhancing Law Enforcement Activities Subaccount will not receive four hundred eighty-nine million nine hundred thousand dollars ($489,900,000) pursuant to subdivision (b) within the current fiscal year, the department shall notify the Controller who shall, after the allocation is made pursuant to subdivision (a), allocate the remaining funds in the Local Revenue Fund 2011 as follows:
