Tennessee Code Title 67. Taxes and Licenses § 67-4-3005

(a) The portion of the revenue received by the municipality from the tax, as is designated by the resolution of the municipality enacting the levy of tax set forth in this part, shall be deposited into a fund entitled the “qualified public use facility development fund,” which shall be used:

(b) If, at the close of any fiscal year, the revenue from the tax is not sufficient to meet the total debt service of the municipality or public authority for bonded indebtedness incurred for the qualified public use facility, the balance, if any, of the debt service not paid by revenue from the tax at the end of the fiscal year shall be accumulated in a separate deficit account that shall bear simple interest at the same rate as the bonds issued by each governmental entity for construction of the qualified public use facilities. If the municipality or public authority has not incurred bonded indebtedness for the qualified public use facility and at the close of any fiscal year, the revenue from the tax is not sufficient to meet the total cost of the qualified public use facility, then the balance, if any, of the cost not paid by revenue from the tax at the end of the fiscal year shall be accumulated in a separate deficit account.

(c) If the revenue from the tax in any fiscal year exceeds the total of the debt service requirements or the total cost of the qualified public use facility for that year, the surplus revenue thus accruing shall be retained by the municipality as a sinking fund for any future debt service requirements or future cost of the qualified public use facility or, alternatively, the surplus may be applied to the reduction of the deficit accounts of the municipality.
