3101.  The expenditure of funds for insurance which is authorized by
this chapter is a public purpose and is in furtherance of the
purposes for which state and district fairs are conducted.



3102.  If the Department of Parks and Recreation or the board of
directors of any district agricultural association finds that, in
order to conduct a successful horserace meeting with adequate
competition and a sufficient number of competent jockeys and exercise
boys, it is necessary that it purchase suitable accident and
disability insurance for the benefit of the jockeys and exercise boys
who are participating in the horserace meeting, it may purchase such
insurance to protect them from the physical hazards of such
participation.
