This bill appropriates funds from the general fund of the state treasury to the state fair association for the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. The total appropriation amounts to $2,542,833, which includes $642,833 for premiums and $1,900,000 for base level enhancements, specifically allocated for a campground rest facility and safety and security infrastructure. The campground rest facility is allocated $900,000, while the safety and security infrastructure is allocated $1,000,000.
Additionally, the bill outlines that the funding for the campground rest facility will provide a seventy-five percent cost-share, not exceeding $900,000. It also exempts the state fair from certain operational and maintenance cost restrictions, allowing the use of the appropriated funds for the construction of the campground rest facility and safety and security infrastructure. The state fair association is required to report to the appropriations committees of the seventieth legislative assembly regarding the use of the one-time funding items included in this appropriation.
