Cal. Food & Agric. Code § 3218

If any California fair does not hold a fair in any year because of war conditions, or because the grounds or buildings of the fair have been taken over and occupied by the United States or its armed forces, or that fair is not held due to an act of God, or any unavoidable catastrophe, natural or human made, the fair shall nevertheless submit an annual statement of operations and shall not resume operations without a budget that has been approved by the department.
