16     Section 10. The Agricultural Fair Act is amended by
17 changing Section 10 as follows:
 
18     (30 ILCS 120/10)  (from Ch. 85, par. 660)
19     Sec. 10. (a) Effective with fiscal year 1987, each county
20 fair's authorized base shall be set at 66 2/3% of the approved
21 amount of premium paid in either of the 2 previous fiscal years
22 fiscal year 1984 or 1985, whichever year has the largest
23 approved amount. The authorized base of the Gallatin,
24 Montgomery and Massac county fairs for fiscal years 1987 and

 

 

SB0204 - 19 - LRB095 05002 JAM 25070 b

1 1988 shall be $15,000 each. If there is a change in the
2 appropriation, the Director shall allocate to each fair the
3 same percentages of that appropriation as it received of the
4 authorized bases for all fairs.
5     (b) The Department shall reimburse each eligible county
6 fair as follows:
7     100% of the first $2,000 of approved premiums awarded at
8 each eligible county fair;
9     85% of the next $2,000;
10     75% of the next $3,000;
11     65% of the next $3,000;
12     55% of the next $4,000; and
13     50% of the remaining premiums paid until the total
14 reimbursement equals the authorized base amount for each fair.
15     (c) If, after all approved state aid claims are paid for
16 the current year pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section,
17 any amount remains in the appropriations for state aid, that
18 remaining amount shall be distributed on a grant basis. If the
19 total amount of excess approved state aid claims over the
20 authorized base is equal to or less than the remaining amount
21 appropriated for state aid, then each participating fair shall
22 receive a grant equivalent to the excess of its approved claim
23 over its authorized base. If the total amount of excess
24 approved state aid claims exceeds the remaining monies
25 appropriated for state aid, the grants shall be distributed to
26 the participating fairs in proportion to the total amounts of

 

 

SB0204 - 20 - LRB095 05002 JAM 25070 b

1 their respective excess approved claims. If, after all approved
2 claims are paid, any amount remains, that amount shall be
3 distributed to all county fairs eligible under this Section in
4 proportion to their total state aid claims. Fairs filing
5 approved claims exceeding both their authorized base and the
6 grant provided for in this subsection shall participate in the
7 Growth Incentive Program set forth in Section 10.1.
8     Grant monies received by a county fair shall be used only
9 for premiums, awards, judge's fees, and other expenses incurred
10 by the fair which are directly related to the operation of the
11 fair and approved by regulation of the Department. Each fair
12 shall file with the Department a fiscal accounting of the
13 expenditure of the grant monies received under this subsection
14 each year at the same time it files its report under Section 12
15 in relation to the fair held in the next succeeding year.
16     Effective with fiscal year 1989 and each odd numbered
17 fiscal year thereafter, the authorized base of all
18 participating county fairs shall be adjusted by applying 66
19 2/3% to the amount of approved premiums paid in the highest of
20 the previous 2 fiscal years.
