§  3.19.  Prohibition.  1.  (a)  The  council  on  the  arts  shall be
  prohibited  from  awarding  grants  to  an  organization   unless   such
  organization  is  incorporated as a nonprofit organization either in the
  state  or,  if  an  organization   is   incorporated   elsewhere,   such
  organization  must be registered to do business in the state through the

  principal place of business is located within the state.  Any  applicant
  which  fails to provide such certification shall be deemed ineligible to
  receive grant funding under this article.

  be  used  toward  programs  in  the  state shall be deemed ineligible to
  receive  grant  funding  under  this  article.  Any  organization,  when
  applying  for  grant  funding,  shall  provide  in its grant application
