vided in Section 3 of this Act.
(9) The Secretary of State shall not approve any expenditure of state
funds to any county organization that practices discrimination based on
race, sex, age, creed, or national origin. The State Attorney General shall
be specifically responsible for the enforcement of this section.
Sec. 3. State Financing
(a) As soon as possible after this Act takes effect, the Secretary of
State shall obtain from each county chairman of each political party in
the State which is holding primary elections in 1972 a sworn itemized
estimate of the costs for conducting the first primary election in his
county, showing the costs incurred before the effective date of this Act
separately from those incurred or to be incurred after the effective date,
together with a sworn statement of the filing fees and contributions
received by the chairman, for such primary election to and including the
date of such sworn statement. The Secretary of State shall review the
estimate and shall notify the chairman of any items which he has dis-
allowed as unauthorized expenditures. Expenditures may be allowed only
for those purposes which are properly payable out of the primary fund
under existing law as established by the statutes and court decisions of
this State. The Secretary of State shall subtract from the approved
estimate any amount of the fees and contributions received by the chair-
man remaining over and above legitimate expenses incurred, before the
effective date of this Act, for the conduct and financing of the Primary
Elections for the year 1972, and shall certify to the Comptroller of Public
Accounts the net estimated amount which is payable out of State funds,
together with the Secretary of State's calculation of three-fourths of that
amount. The Comptroller forthwith shall issue a warrant to the chair-
man for three-fourths of the certified amount.
(b) In each county in which a runoff primary is necessary, within 10
days after the first primary the county chairman shall submit to the
Secretary of State a sworn itemized estimate of the costs of the runoff
primary incurred or to be incurred after the effective date of this Act.
As in the case of the first primary, the Secretary of State shall notify
the chairman of items which he disallows, and shall certify to the Comp-
troller the approved estimated amount which is payable out of State
funds, together with the Secretary of State's calculation of three-fourths
of that amount; and the Comptroller shall issue a warrant to the chair-
man for three-fourths of the certified amount.
(c) Within 20 days after the date of the runoff primary, the county
chairman shall submit to the Secretary of State a sworn itemized report
of the actual costs, filing fees collected and contributions received, of the
primary election or elections (as the case may be) held by his party in his
county, showing the costs incurred before the effective date of this Act
separately from those incurred after the effective date. If the actual
expenditure for an item exceeded the estimated amount, the chairman
shall submit an explanation of the reason for the increased expenditure,
and the Secretary of State shall allow the increase if good cause is shown.
The Secretary of State shall certify to the Comptroller the difference
between the total amount payable out of State funds and the amount
which has already been transmitted to the chairman, and the Comptroller
shall issue a warrant to the chairman in the amount certified. If the
total amount of the fees and contributions in excess of those previously
expended for expenses which would have been payable if incurred after
