in part 1, a regional or subregional library's fiscal agency shall

 

agree to maintain local funding support at the same level in the

 

current fiscal year as in the fiscal agency's preceding fiscal

 

year. If a reduction in expenditures equally affects all agencies

 

in a local unit of government that is the regional or subregional

 

library's fiscal agency, that reduction shall not be interpreted as

 

a reduction in local support and shall not disqualify a regional or

 

subregional library from receiving state aid under part 1. If a

 

reduction in income affects a library cooperative or district

 

library that is a regional or subregional library's fiscal agency
