(9)   (a) The amount paid to each county under Subsection (8) shall be calculated on a pro rata basis, based on the average number of state probationary inmate days of incarceration and the average state parole inmate days of incarceration that were provided by each county for the preceding five state fiscal years; and     (b) if funds are available, the total number of days of incarceration of offenders housed pursuant to Subsection 64-13-21(2)(b).       (10) If funds appropriated under Subsection (2) remain after payments are made pursuant to Subsection (8), the Division of Finance shall pay a county that houses in its jail a person convicted of a felony who is on probation or parole and who is incarcerated pursuant to Subsection 64-13-21(2)(b) on a pro rata basis not to exceed 50% of the actual county daily incarceration rate.
