(b)  An amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) of such increase shall be available for allocation to incorporated municipalities and to county governments as needed, to provide the state's share of any contribution required to fund any law of general application which requires, without local discretion, that incorporated municipalities or county governments increase expenditures as a direct consequence of the passage of any general law; provided, that when the cost of any such law is estimated to exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), the source and amount of funding from state funds shall be set forth in such law.

(c)  In the event the source and amount of funding from state funds is not set forth in such law, such sources and amounts shall be set forth in the general appropriations act enacted during the same session as such general law.
