1. The comptroller shall pay taxes
  levied on lands of the state in each county pursuant  to  the  foregoing
  sections  of  this  title, out of moneys appropriated by the legislature
  therefor, to the county  treasurer  for  appropriate  distribution  upon
  submission  of  a statement of such taxes by him or her in such form and
  executed in such manner by the county treasurer as may  be  required  by
  the  comptroller. Provided, however, that in the case of lands which are
  taxable pursuant to subdivision (j) of section five  hundred  thirty-two

  be requested, processed and paid separately from all  other  taxes  that
  are payable to the county treasurer pursuant to this section.
    2.  No penalties, interest or fees of any kind, except fees payable to
  school district collecting  officers  pursuant  to  subdivision  one  of
  section thirteen hundred twenty-eight of this chapter on school taxes on
  lands  outside  the  forest preserve, shall be added to taxes payable by
  the state pursuant to the provisions of this section.
