Text

(a) The department may accept contributions
and pledges to the fund. Pledges made contingent on appropriation of
state money are acceptable and shall be reported with other pledges as
set forth in this section.
(b) On each December 1 that precedes the beginning of a new
budgetary biennium, until the campaign size limit is reached, the
department shall include:
(1) the amount that has been contributed; and
(2) the amount that has been pledged for payment in the
succeeding two (2) calendar years;
in the department's budget request.
(c) In addition to the budget request, the department shall report the
amounts to:
(1) the governor; and
(2) the chairmen of the standing committees in the house of
representatives and senate considering issues of finance and
natural resources;
so that those public officials can take proper steps to secure the
appropriation of a matching amount of public money for the fund.
(d) A similar state match of private contributions and pledges for
successive years shall be requested in successive biennia until an
amount not exceeding five million dollars ($5,000,000) is appropriated
to accomplish the purposes of this chapter.
