LBD00907-02-1A. 113--A 2 1 liability for aid paid pursuant to this section shall be limited to 2 funds appropriated for such purpose. Aid shall be provided on approved 3 expenses incurred during the period commencing July first and ending 4 June thirtieth for up to three years, or until the project is completed, 5 whichever occurs first. Fifty percent of such aid shall be payable to 6 each system or library upon approval of the application by the depart- 7 ment. Forty percent of such aid shall be payable in the next state 8 fiscal year. The remaining ten percent shall be payable upon project 9 completion. 10 2.

Each applica- 15 tion shall: 16 a. demonstrate that resources are or shall be available to provide for 17 maximum utilization of the project if approved; 18 b. contain verification in such form as may be acceptable to the 19 commissioner that the total cost of the project, exclusive of state aid, 20 has been or will be obtained; 21 c. demonstrate that library operations would be made more economical 22 as a consequence of approval; 23 d. be limited to one project concerning such building, provided that 24 no building shall be the subject of more than one application per year; 25 [and] 26 e. contain documentation, where such an application requests state aid 27 in an amount greater than fifty percent, demonstrating how the project 28 will address the service needs of one or more economically disadvantaged 29 communities.

In approving any application that would receive state aid beyond 35 fifty percent of the total project approved costs, the board of trustees 36 of the library system shall give particular attention to addressing the 37 library service needs of economically disadvantaged communities as 38 provided for in paragraph e of subdivision two of this section. 39 4. In approving any application the commissioner shall consider the 40 condition of existing libraries and, where appropriate, the needs of 41 isolated or economically disadvantaged communities, provided that no 42 application shall be approved for a project that is deemed by the 43 commissioner to have been completed prior to the date of the applica- 44 tion. 45 [4.] 5. Aid shall be distributed pursuant to this section as follows: 46 a. sixty percent of the funds appropriated pursuant to this section 47 shall be made available to libraries within each system by the commis- 48 sioner in such manner as to insure that the ratio of the amount received 49 within each system to the whole of the aid made available pursuant to 50 this paragraph is no greater than the ratio of the population served by 51 such system to the population of the state; 52 b. forty percent of the funds appropriated pursuant to this section 53 shall be made available to library systems or libraries within each 54 system by the commissioner in such manner as to insure that an equal 55 amount is received within each system in the state;A. 113--A 3 1 c. any funds made available pursuant to paragraph a or b of this 2 subdivision which by April first of each succeeding fiscal year, are 3 declined by such libraries or library systems for any reason, or which 4 cannot otherwise be used by such libraries or library systems for any 5 reason, shall be made available by the commissioner to other eligible 6 libraries within such system, or if no such library can use such funds 7 shall be reallocated among the other library systems and their libraries 8 in a manner that will to the extent possible provide from such reallo- 9 cated funds an equal amount to each such system. 10 [5.] 6. The commissioner shall adopt rules and regulations as are 11 necessary to carry out the purposes and provisions of this section. 12 7. The commissioner shall submit to the temporary president of the 13 senate and the speaker of the assembly an annual report describing those 14 projects that have received state funding of greater than fifty percent 15 of project costs and the communities to be served by those projects. 16 § 2.
