What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection provides state aid to counties, agricultural societies, associations, and

boards that hold local fairs to cover the cost of prizes paid out to exhibitors, up to

$10,000 per fair. This bill increases that maximum to $20,000 per fair.

Current law also provides that an entity operating a fair may impose

restrictions on the total number of fairs at which an exhibitor may participate in

order to be eligible, at that fair, for a prize that is paid for with state aid. This bill

keeps this provision, but provides that DATCP may not impose such restrictions.
