N.Y. Agriculture & Markets Law § 31-c: Receipts and disbursements

§ 31-c. Receipts and disbursements. The department shall receive all

moneys payable to the state on account of said fair and make all

disbursements therefrom and also from any appropriation made for that

purpose by the legislature as may be needed, from time to time, in

carrying on the work of the department. The provisions of section one

hundred twenty-one of the state finance law requiring that money

received for or on behalf of the state shall be paid monthly into the

state treasury shall not apply to the proceeds of the state fair, and

the department may pay from the race and other entry fees, gate

admissions and other receipts of such fair such expenses as shall be

necessary for the proper conduct of the New York state fair and the

purposes of the department. Any balance remaining in its hands received

in connection with the state fair shall be retained by the department of

agriculture and markets as a special fund for such permanent

constructions on the state fair grounds or for administration expenses

as shall be approved by the director of the budget, the chairman of the

finance committee of the senate and the chairman of the ways and means

committee of the assembly.
