| (a) The Office will only consider a disbursement request
that:
(1) is supported by an event support contract;
(2) requests reimbursement for payments or obligations
for allowable costs; and
(3) is complete, supported by proof of payment or internal
billing documentation, and includes all event reimbursement costs
being sought by the applicant for disbursement.
(b) The Office may request additional supporting documentation
or justification regarding any costs submitted for a disbursement.
The Office, at its sole discretion, may withhold disbursements for
event costs pending the receipt of any information the Office considers
necessary to appropriately document the applicant's entitlement to
reimbursement.
(c) The Office shall not make any disbursements for
event costs until all reporting requirements under Subchapter D (Required
Reports) of this chapter are satisfied.
(d) Upon disbursement of all reimbursement payments,
any unexpended balance remaining in the trust fund will be returned
to each endorsing entity in proportion to the local share contributed
by the entity, and any unexpended state share shall be returned to
the Comptroller of Public Accounts.
(e) A disbursement made from the trust fund by the
Office in satisfaction of an applicant's obligation shall be satisfied
proportionately from the state and local share in the trust fund in
the proportion of 6.25:1 of state funds to local share notwithstanding
any agreements to the contrary made by an Applicant.
(f) If the Office determines, based on information
obtained from verifiable sources, including any monitoring, inspection,
review or audit conducted by the Office or its authorized representatives,
that the applicant received a disbursement in excess of the amount
to which the applicant is entitled under applicable statutes and this
chapter, or that the applicant provided erroneous information that
resulted in an overstatement of the estimated incremental tax receipt
increase for an event, then the Office may withhold, offset, recoup,
or otherwise require the return of any excess disbursement amounts.
