The amount to be annually credited to the Surplus Revenue Fund shall be determined by the State Treasurer in the following manner:
a. He shall identify the amount of General Fund anticipated revenue certified by the Governor upon approval of the annual appropriation act for the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which a credit to the “Surplus Revenue Fund” is required.
b. He shall determine, from the annual financial report of the General Fund for the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which a credit to the “Surplus Revenue Fund” is required, the amount of revenue actually deposited in the General Fund in that fiscal year. If in any preceding fiscal year for which a determination under this subsection is to be made, there is a law enacted which will increase the revenue to the General Fund, the yield from that increase for that preceding fiscal year in which the increase is in effect shall be disregarded in determining the amount to be credited to the “Surplus Revenue Fund.”
c. The amount of the credit to the “Surplus Revenue Fund” shall be an amount equivalent to 50% of the excess, if there be any, of the amount determined in subsection b. of this section over the amount determined in subsection a. of this section. If actual revenue collections pursuant to the “New Jersey Gross Income Tax Act,” N.J.S. 54A:1-1 et seq., for the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which a credit to the “Surplus Revenue Fund” is required are less than the amount of revenue collections pursuant to that act as certified by the Governor upon approval of the annual appropriation act for that fiscal year, the amount of the credit to the “Surplus Revenue Fund” otherwise calculated pursuant to this section shall be reduced by the difference between the amount so certified and the actual collections.
