Not more than an amount equal to the amount of revenue that is attributable to two-tenths of one percent (0.2%) of a tax rate imposed under this section may be used for operating expenses for correctional facilities and rehabilitation facilities in the county.
(b) The tax rate imposed under this section may not be in effect for more than:
