Whenever, at the request of the governor, the president has declared a major disaster to exist
in this state, the governor is authorized to take the following actions:
(a) Upon the governor's determination that a political subdivision of the state will suffer a
substantial loss of tax and other revenues from a major disaster and has demonstrated a need
for financial assistance to perform its governmental functions, the governor may apply to the
federal government, on behalf of the political subdivision, for a loan, and receive and disburse the
proceeds of the approved loan to the applicant political subdivision.
(b) The governor may determine the amount needed by an applicant political subdivision to
restore or resume its governmental functions, and certify that amount to the federal government.
No application amount may exceed 25 percent of the annual operating budget of the applicant for
the fiscal year in which the major disaster occurs.
(c) The governor may recommend to the federal government, based upon the governor's

operation character.
