§ 15849

Such amount as may be necessary to pay monthly the amount required to pay rent for the buildings and facilities authorized to be constructed on the new site of the California State Fair and Exposition under the provisions of the State Building Construction Act of 1955 (commencing at Section 15800) is hereby appropriated each fiscal year, payable first from the State Fair Fund in the State Treasury, to become available only if the Department of Finance certifies to the State Controller that the amount required to pay such rent has not been included in the Budget Act for such fiscal year. If there is insufficient money in the State Fair Fund to pay such rent, the appropriation shall be payable from all the license fees for conducting horse racing meetings not payable into the Fairs and Exposition Fund, or into the Wildlife Restoration Fund, pursuant to Section 19627 of the Business and Professions Code.

Any amount paid from such license fees shall be reimbursed from the State Fair Fund when the Department of Finance certifies to the State Controller that sufficient money is in the State Fair Fund to make such reimbursement. The appropriation herein made shall become inoperative when the buildings or facilities constructed by the State Public Works Board on the new site have been transferred to the jurisdiction of the California State Fair and Exposition.
