     Each year, beginning in State fiscal year 2001, each county fair or Fair and Exposition Authority that received moneys from the Fair and Exposition Fund during State fiscal year 2000 shall receive from that Fund an amount equal to that received in State fiscal year 2000. If an eligible county fair elects to begin participation in an appropriation from the Fair and Exposition Fund in State fiscal year 2001 or thereafter, an additional amount shall be appropriated not to exceed an amount equal to the number representing the last official census of that county multiplied by the amount determined by dividing the amount appropriated for State fiscal year 2000 by the total official census of those counties that participated in State fiscal year 2000, except that no county fair shall receive an amount greater than the largest amount received by a county fair or Fair and Exposition Authority in 2000. In the event a county has more than one fair participating in such appropriation, that county’s share shall be divided equally among them.
