(3) For calendar years 2014 and 2015, the authority shall distribute local community stabilization share revenue to each city in an amount determined by multiplying the local community stabilization share revenue for the calendar years by a fraction, the numerator of which is that city's amount calculated under section 14(3) and the denominator of which is the total amount calculated under section 14(3).
(4) Beginning for calendar year 2016, the authority shall distribute local community stabilization share revenue as follows in the following order of priority:
(a) The authority shall distribute to each municipality an amount equal to all of the following:

(ii) 100% of that municipality's amount calculated under section 16.
(iii) 100% of that municipality's school operating loss not reimbursed by the school aid fund in the current year.
(iv) 100% of the amount calculated in section 14(2). However, the amount distributed to a municipality under this subparagraph shall not exceed the amount calculated in section 14(1)(d). All distributions under this subparagraph shall be used to fund essential services.
(v) For a municipality that is a tax increment finance authority, 100% of its amount calculated under section 16a(2).
(vi) 100% of that municipality's amount calculated under section 14(4).
(b) Beginning for calendar year 2019, after the distributions under subdivision (a), and subject to subparagraph (viii), the authority shall distribute 5% of the remaining balance of the local community stabilization share fund for the current calendar year to each municipality that is not a local school district, intermediate school district, or tax increment finance authority in an amount determined as follows:
(i) Calculate the total acquisition cost of all eligible personal property in the municipality.
(ii) Multiply the result of the calculation in subparagraph (i) by the sum of the lowest rate of each individual millage levied by the municipality in the period between 2012 and the year immediately preceding the current year that is not used to calculate a distribution under subdivision (a). For an individual millage rate not levied in 1 of the years, the lowest millage rate is zero. A millage used to make the calculation under this subparagraph must be eligible to be levied against both real property and personal property.
(iii) Divide the sum of the amounts calculated under subparagraph (ii) for all municipalities subject to the calculation by total qualified loss.
(iv) Multiply the result of the calculation in subparagraph (iii) by the amount calculated under section 16a(2) for captured taxes levied by the municipality not including taxes attributable to increased captured value.
(v) Subtract from the amount calculated under subparagraph (ii) the amount calculated under subparagraph (iv).
(vi) Divide the result of the calculation in subparagraph (v) by the sum of the calculation under subparagraph (v) for all municipalities.
(vii) Multiply the result of the calculation in subparagraph (vi) by the amount to be distributed under this subdivision.
(viii) For calendar year 2020, and each calendar year thereafter, the percentage amount described in this subdivision shall be increased an additional 5% each year, not to exceed 100%.
(c) After the distributions in subdivisions (a) and (b), the authority shall distribute the remaining balance of the local community stabilization share fund for a calendar year to each municipality in an amount determined by multiplying the remaining balance by a fraction, the numerator of which is that municipality's qualified loss and the denominator of which is the total qualified loss.
