What the document says
“If an eligible county that will receive a county payment for fiscal year 2024 or 2025 has already received a 50-percent payment for that fiscal year, the amount of the county payment shall be reduced by the amount of the 50-percent payment.”
The second paragraph of the added subsection (e) reduces the county payment for fiscal year 2024 or 2025 by the amount of the 50-percent payment the county has already received for that year.
What the document actually says
“If an eligible county that will receive a county payment for fiscal year 2024 or 2025 has already received a 50-percent payment for that fiscal year, the amount of the county payment shall be reduced by the amount of the 50-percent payment.”
That sentence, in plain words
Some counties already got a 50-percent payment for that year. Their county payment is now smaller. It drops by the amount already paid.
What this is about
This works the same way as the rule just before it. Money already sent is taken off. It keeps a county from being paid twice.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
