The portion of state sales taxes collected within the boundaries of the regional tourism zone equal to the base year revenue shall be paid into the state treasury as such state sales taxes are normally collected and paid; and
(b)
The portion of sales tax revenue in excess of the base year revenue shall be allocated to and, when collected, paid into a special fund established by the financing entity. The financing entity shall segregate such revenue from other moneys of the financing entity, if any, and shall utilize such sales tax revenue solely to finance eligible costs incurred for the purpose of constructing the eligible improvements and implementing the regional tourism project. The special fund may be used, without limitation, to pay the principal of, the interest on, and any premiums due in connection with the bonds of, loans or advances to, or indebtedness incurred by, whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, such financing entity for financing or refinancing, in whole or in part, a regional tourism project. Any excess state sales tax collections not allocated pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be paid into the funds of the state treasury.
(2)
State sales tax increment revenue, together with any investment income earned thereon, shall be construed and treated for all purposes as being assigned to, the property of, and the revenue of the applicable financing entity and shall not be construed or treated for any purpose as revenue or property of the state.
