66 Additional conditions to which grants of financial assistance under Part subject
(1) Financial assistance is granted to a State under section 44, 52, 54 or 59 on the additional condition that the State will cause to be furnished to the Minister (not later than 30 June 1985 or such later date as the Minister approves in relation to the grant):
(a) a certificate by an authorized person to the effect that the person has satisfied himself that the condition specified in subsection 44(2), 52(2) or 54(2), as the case may be, has been fulfilled; and
(b) a statement, in accordance with a form approved by the Minister, that summarizes the manner in which the amount applied by the State in pursuance of the condition so specified has been so applied.
(2) Financial assistance is granted to a State under a section contained in this Part on the additional condition that, if the State does not fulfil a condition specified in this Part with respect to that grant, the State will, if the Minister so determines, repay to the Commonwealth such amount (not being an amount greater than the sum of the amounts of financial assistance paid to the State under that section) as the Minister specifies in the determination as the amount that should be repaid by the State. (3) Financial assistance is granted to a State under section 44, 52, 54, 56, 59 or 61 on the additional condition that, if the State establishes, or proposes to establish, a committee of persons (by whatever name described) for the sole or principal purpose of providing advice in respect of the distribution of financial assistance granted under one or more of those sections, the State Education Minister will, before making any appointment or further appointment to that committee, consult the Commonwealth Education Minister with respect to the criteria for making appointments to that committee. (4) Nothing in this Act shall be taken to authorize the recovery by the Commonwealth in respect of financial assistance granted to a State under a section contained in this Part of any amount from that State or of any amount under an agreement entered into for the purposes of a condition specified in that section in respect of that financial assistance if the aggregate of that amount and any amount previously recovered from that State in respect of that financial assistance, or previously recovered under such an agreement entered into in relation to that financial assistance would exceed, in the aggregate, the amount of that financial assistance.
