  2 23    "Sec.    .  Section 29C.20, subsection 1, Code
  2 24 1997, is amended to read as follows:
  2 25    1.  A contingent fund is created in the state
  2 26 treasury for the use of the executive council which
  2 27 may be expended for the purpose of paying the expenses
  2 28 of suppressing an insurrection or riot, actual or
  2 29 threatened, when state aid has been rendered by order
  2 30 of the governor, and for repairing, rebuilding, or
  2 31 restoring state property injured, destroyed, or lost
  2 32 by fire, storm, theft, or unavoidable cause, and for
  2 33 repairing, rebuilding, or restoring state property
  2 34 which is fiberoptic cable and which is injured or
  2 35 destroyed by a wild animal, and for aid to any
  2 36 governmental subdivision in an area declared by the
  2 37 governor to be a disaster area due to natural
  2 38 disasters or to expenditures necessitated by the
  2 39 governmental subdivision toward averting or lessening
  2 40 the impact of the potential disaster, where the effect
  2 41 of the disaster or action on the governmental
  2 42 subdivision is the immediate financial inability to
  2 43 meet the continuing requirements of local government.
  2 44 Upon application by a governmental subdivision in such
  2 45 an area, accompanied by a showing of obligations and
  2 46 expenditures necessitated by an actual or potential
  2 47 disaster in a form and with further information the
  2 48 executive council requires, the aid may be made in the
  2 49 discretion of the executive council and, if made,
  2 50 shall be in the nature of a loan up to a limit of
  3  1 seventy-five percent of the showing of obligations and
  3  2 expenditures.  The loan, without interest, shall be
  3  3 repaid by the maximum annual emergency levy authorized
  3  4 by section 24.6, or by the appropriate levy authorized
  3  5 for a governmental subdivision not covered by section
  3  6 24.6.  The aggregate total of loans shall not exceed
  3  7 one million dollars during a fiscal year.  A loan
  3  8 shall not be for an obligation or expenditure
  3  9 occurring more than two years previous to the
  3 10 application.
  3 11    When a state department or agency requests that
  3 12 moneys from the contingent fund be expended to repair,
  3 13 rebuild, or restore state property injured, destroyed,
  3 14 or lost by fire, storm, theft, or unavoidable cause,
  3 15 or to repair, rebuild, or restore state property which
  3 16 is fiberoptic cable and which is injured or destroyed
  3 17 by a wild animal, the executive council shall consider
  3 18 the original source of the funds for acquisition of
  3 19 the property before authorizing the expenditure.  If
  3 20 the original source was other than the general fund of
  3 21 the state, the department or agency shall be directed
  3 22 to utilize moneys from the original source if
  3 23 possible.  The executive council shall not authorize
  3 24 the repairing, rebuilding, or restoring of the
  3 25 property from the disaster aid contingent fund if it
  3 26 determines that moneys from the original source are
  3 27 available to finance the project."
  3 28    #9.  By renumbering, relettering, or redesignating
  3 29 and correcting internal references as necessary.
