FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL CODE

SECTION 4461

4461. Any funds that are appropriated for the encouragement of
county, district agricultural association, or combined county and
district agricultural association fairs which, pursuant to law, are
apportioned by the department shall be paid monthly to the several
eligible counties and district agricultural associations in such
amounts as the department determines during the fiscal year in which
the apportionment is made. The department shall make its
determination of monthly amounts based on the relative need of the
county or district agricultural association for the funds during the
particular month. The monthly apportionment of funds on a need basis
shall not result in an annual apportionment to a particular county or
district agricultural association in excess of the amount otherwise
payable. The aggregate of the monthly apportionments to each of the
several counties and district agricultural associations shall not
exceed the maximum apportionment for the year.
"Need", as used in this section, means the combination of the
current cash position of the fair and the time of year at which the
annual fair is held.
