20 franchise. Distributions shall begin 60 days following such

24 receive more in distributions than actually expended by the
25 applicant for the public purposes provided for in s.
26 288.1162(6). However, a certified applicant is entitled to
27 receive distributions up to the maximum amount allowable and
