Assembly Bill 318 proposes an amendment to the existing law regarding state aid for local fairs in Wisconsin. Currently, organizations seeking state aid must submit an itemized statement detailing the net premiums paid at the fair, along with a declaration that gambling devices, the sale of intoxicating liquors, and exhibitions of immoral character were prohibited on the fairgrounds. This bill seeks to remove the requirement for this declaration, thereby simplifying the process for organizations applying for state aid.

The specific legal language being amended is found in section 93.23 (1) (e) of the statutes. The bill deletes the requirement that the statement must include confirmation that gambling devices, the sale of intoxicating liquors (with exceptions for certain beverages), and exhibitions of immoral character were excluded from the fairgrounds. This change aims to streamline the application process for state aid, potentially encouraging more organizations to participate in local fairs without the burden of additional compliance requirements.
