to such displaced persons as required by this chapter.



(b)ย  A relocation payment to a displaced person
shall be for the person's or its actual and reasonable moving expenses.



(c)ย  Optional payments (dwelling).ย  Any
displaced person who moves from a dwelling who elects to accept the payments
authorized by this subsection in lieu of the payments authorized by subsection
(b) may receive:ย  (1) a moving expense allowance determined according to a
schedule established by the state agency involved not to exceed $300; and (2) a
dislocation allowance in the amount of $200.



(d) ย Optional payments (business and farm

subsection in lieu of the payment authorized by subsection (a) of this section
may receive a fixed relocation payment in an amount equal to the average annual
net earnings of the business or farm operation, or $5,000, whichever is the
lesser.ย  In the case of a business, no payment shall be made under this
subsection unless the state agency involved is satisfied that the business (1)
cannot be relocated without a substantial loss of its existing patronage; and
(2) it is not part of a commercial enterprise having at least one other
establishment, not being acquired by the state agency which is engaged in the
same or similar business.



(e)ย  In lieu of the payments authorized by
subsections (b), (c), and (d), the state agency may at its option and at its
expense undertake to move as applicable the personal effects or business or
farm operation to the site to which the displaced person is to be relocated.



(f)ย  If any state agency displaces any person
as a result of code enforcement, that person shall be entitled to benefits
under this section unless the displaced person is in any way responsible for
the violation.ย  The state agency shall have the right to recover from the party
responsible for a code violation any moneys paid out under chapter 111. [L
