(2) For Fiscal Year 2006 a calculation was made to determine the increase that the New Castle County Volunteer Fire Companies received for the insurance premium tax in Calendar Year 2003 versus Calendar Year 2002.

That amount was added to the base allocation to each Volunteer Fire Company in Kent and Sussex Counties. (The base represents $22,401 included in the Fiscal Year 1999 Grant-in-Aid Appropriation Bill.)

At no time will the amount for Kent and Sussex Volunteer Fire Companies be less than the base amount of $22,401.
