Before the commissioner of agriculture pays state aid to any fair association, the association shall file with the commissioner, over the signature of the secretary, a typewritten report of approved premiums paid by the association, namely, those outlined in §43-21-106. This report shall show the name and address of each premium winner, the amount paid to each winner, the name of each winning entry, and the total amount paid to all winners. The secretary of the fair shall send to the commissioner, together with the report outlined above, the cancelled checks, or signed receipts, used in paying the premiums listed on the report. The commissioner may accept a certified summary of premiums paid by a fair association who has paid approved agriculture premiums in excess of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000); provided, that any fair may submit a statement prepared and certified by an accountant instead of the certified summary.
