(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.
