The remaining revenues not subject to expenditure by the hotel and motel tax board created in the bill shall be spent, as required by current law, by the city or county on any city or county operations authorized by law as a proper purpose for the expenditure within statutory limitations of city or county revenues derived from ad valorem taxes.
