(b) The criteria developed under par.

2. Each county's proportion of the total Part I juvenile arrests reported statewide under the uniform crime reporting system of the department of justice during the most recent 3-year period for which that information is available.
3. Each county's proportion of the number of juveniles statewide who are placed in a juvenile correctional facility or a secured residential care center for children and youth during the most recent 3-year period for which that information is available.
(bm) Of the amounts specified in par. (a), the department shall allocate $6,250,000 for the last 6 months of 2021, $12,500,000 for 2022, and $6,250,000 for the first 6 months of 2023 to counties based on each county's proportion of the number of juveniles statewide who are placed in a juvenile correctional facility or a secured residential care center for children and youth during the most recent 3-year period for which that information is available.
(c) Of the amounts specified in par. (a), the department shall allocate $1,053,200 for the last 6 months of 2021, $2,106,500 for 2022, and $1,053,300 for the first 6 months of 2023 to counties based on each of the factors specified in par. (b) 1. to 3. weighted equally, except that no county may receive an allocation under this paragraph that is less than 93 percent nor more than 115 percent of the amount that the county would have received under this paragraph if the allocation had been distributed only on the basis of the factor specified in par.

In distributing funds to counties under this paragraph, the department shall distribute to each county the full amount of the charges for the services purchased by that county, except that if the amounts available under this paragraph are insufficient to distribute that full amount, the department shall distribute those available amounts to each county that purchases community supervision services based on the ratio that the charges to that county for those services bear to the total charges to all counties that purchase those services.
(8) Alcohol and other drug abuse treatment. From the amount of the allocations specified in sub. (7) (a), the department shall allocate $666,700 in the last 6 months of 2021, $1,333,400 in 2022, and $666,700 in the first 6 months of 2023 for alcohol and other drug abuse treatment programs.
