The state fair association shall make arrangements with local law enforcement agencies for the provision of law enforcement personnel. For the purpose of enforcing any state and local laws, rules, regulations, bylaws, and ordinances of the state fair association, negotiations may be entered with local law enforcement agencies for the use of law enforcement personnel or the deputizing of employees of the state fair association. The cost of providing law enforcement personnel is the responsibility of the state fair association, except in the case of law enforcement officials who are functioning in their normal capacity as agents of the state or its political subdivisions. Law enforcement personnel shall wear appropriate badges of office while acting as such.
