(a) The proceeds from the sale of the bonds pursuant to this chapter shall not replace or supplant funds available from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). If funds are received from FEMA for costs applied for under this chapter, then proceeds from the fund shall not be allocated, or if already allocated, then the fund shall be reimbursed for any ineligible amount. (b) No allocations shall be made from the fund for local buildings or facilities that qualified for state or federal assistance under the Disaster Assistance Act (Chapter 7.5 (commencing with Section 8680)) for retrofitting, reconstruction, repair, replacement, or relocation of structures damaged by a disaster until the office determines either: (1) that reasonable efforts have been made to secure other state and federal funds, or (2) that the other sources of funding are insufficient to make the necessary seismic improvements. Similarly, no allocations from the fund shall be made for state buildings or facilities unless the Department of Finance determines either: (1) the responsible agency has made reasonable efforts to secure other state and federal funds, or (2) that the other sources of funding are insufficient to correct state buildings or facilities that are seismically unsafe or suffer from other safety deficiencies.
