10 appropriation made under the provisions of this Section
11 unless it shall have notified the Department in writing of
12 its intent to participate prior to obligating any funds for
13 which reimbursement will be requested. Each county fair
14 shall be reimbursed annually not to exceed $20,000 for that
15 part of the amount expended by the fair during the year for
16 liability and casualty insurance, as provided in this
17 Section, and the rehabilitation of its grounds, including
18 major construction projects and minor maintenance and repair
19 projects; as follows:
20 100% of the first $5,000 or any part thereof;
21 75% of the next $20,000 or any part thereof;.
22 50% of the next $20,000 or any part thereof.
23 The lesser of either $10,000 or 50% of the amount
24 received by a county fair pursuant to this Section may be
25 expended for liability and casualty insurance.
26 If a county fair expends $25,000 or more than is needed
27 in any year for approved projects to maximize State
28 reimbursement under this Section and provides itemized
29 receipts and other evidence of expenditures for that year,
30 any excess may be carried over to the succeeding year. The
31 amount carried over shall constitute a claim for

5 shall file with the Department a sworn statement of the
6 amount expended during the period July 1 to June 15 of the
7 State's fiscal year, accompanied by itemized receipted bills
8 and other evidence of expenditures. If the Department
9 approves the claim, the State Comptroller is authorized and
10 directed to draw a warrant payable from the Agricultural
11 Premium Fund for not more than $20,000 on the State Treasurer
12 for the amount of the rehabilitation claims.
13 If after all claims are paid, there remains any amount of
14 the appropriation for rehabilitation, the remaining amount
15 shall be distributed as a grant to the participating fairs
16 qualifying for the maximum reimbursement and shall be
17 distributed to the eligible fairs on an equal basis.
18 Expenditures exceeding $25,000 for rehabilitation will be
19 reimbursed at the rate of 75% of the amount of money
20 expended, not to exceed each eligible fair's pro rata share
21 granted in this paragraph. A sworn statement of the amount
22 expended accompanied by the itemized receipted bills as
23 evidence of expenditure must be filed with the Department by
24 June 15 of each year.
