(b) The lottery shall ensure that the distributions made to the permanent building account and the school district building account, pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subsection, shall not be less than the amount those accounts received for fiscal year 2008, provided funds are available at the fiscal year 2008 level.
