    Amendment No.     (for drafter's use only)





 1  requests for fairs, agricultural centers, pavilions, and

 2  multiuse facilities which have been submitted for the ensuing

 3  fiscal year and shall recommend to the Governor and

 4  Legislature, by February 1 preceding the fiscal year for which

 5  funding has been requested, the priority that should be given

 6  to each request.

 7         (b)  In making its recommendations, the committee shall

 8  consider the extent of local government sponsorship and

 9  support and the extent to which the project will provide

10  direct public benefits, including, but not limited to,

11  educational and recreational benefits and the preservation of

12  history, culture, or heritage.

13         (3)  In addition to the review required by subsection

14  (2), the committee shall annually review those fairs,

15  agricultural centers, pavilions, and multiuse facilities for

16  which the Legislature has appropriated funds but which were

17  not previously reviewed by the committee. If the committee

18  finds that the project substantially meets the criteria

19  prescribed in paragraph (2)(b), it shall recommend to the

20  appropriate agency head that a grant be awarded for the

21  project up to the amount appropriated by the Legislature. If

22  the committee finds that the project does not substantially

23  meet the criteria prescribed in paragraph (2)(b), it shall

24  recommend that the Executive Office of the Governor place the

25  appropriation for the project in reserve. Funds for projects

26  reviewed under this subsection must be awarded or placed in

27  reserve by January 1 of the fiscal year for which the funds

28  were appropriated.
