WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                    Ch. 211

(iv) The State is not responsible for any
bonded indebtedness in connection with any real property and
improvements made available by the local government of or any
building to be converted or renovated.

(d) (e) For a project designated under federal
regulations, State plans, or the departmental regulations
promulgated under Section 1(6) of this Act as eligible for
poverty area funding, a State grant may cover up to 75 percent of
the cost of eligible work remaining unpaid after all federal and
other grants have been applied.

(e) (f) The amount of the State grant for any project
shall be determined after consideration of all eligible
applications, the total of unallocated State funds available at
the time the application is received, and such priorities of area
need as may be established by the Department.

(g) No portion of the proceeds of a State grant may
be used for the furtherance of sectarian religious instruction,
or in connection with the design, acquisition, or construction of
any building used or to be used as a place of sectarian religious
worship or instruction, or in connection with any program or
department of divinity for any religious denomination. Upon the
request of the Board of Public Works, the applicant shall submit
evidence satisfactory to the Board that none of the proceeds of
the grant have been or are being used for a purpose prohibited by
this Act.

(8)  The Board of Public Works shall make allocations from
funds available under this Act in accordance with this Act. The
Board shall certify the allocations to the proper State officers,
and the Treasurer shall make payments to or on behalf of the
applicant, when needed, for the approved project. The Board may
adopt regulations for receiving and considering applications and
for disbursing funds to or on behalf of applicants.

(9)  If, within 30 years after completion of a project, a
property with respect to which funds have been paid under this
Act is sold or transferred to any person, agency, or organization
that would not qualify as an applicant under this Act, or that is
not approved as a transferee by the Board of Public Works, or if,
within the same period, such a property ceases to be a "facility"
as defined in this Act, then the State may recover from either
the transferor or transferee or, in the case of a property that
has ceased to be a "facility" as defined in this Act, from the
owner, an amount bearing the same ratio to the then-current value
of so much of the property as constituted an approved project as
the amount of the State participation bore to the total eligible
cost of the approved project, together with all costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the State in the recovery
proceedings.
