Section 1001.30  Grant Amounts and Allocations

Grant amounts and allocations shall be made as follows:

a)         Where the appropriation or other funding source specifies a specific amount for a recipient or recipients, the grant amount shall be that sum specified by the appropriation or other funding source.

b)         Where the appropriation appears to leave discretion in the allocation of grant funds to the Board, the Board shall determine the intent of the Governor and the General Assembly in passing the legislation and allocate grants accordingly.  If that intent cannot be determined, the Board shall determine eligibility for the grants in accordance with their stated purpose as specified by the appropriation or other funding source and shall notify all potentially eligible recipients prior to making grants.

c)         In those cases where the appropriation or other funding source specifies a specific amount for a class of recipients, the grant amounts shall be determined by the method specified by the appropriation or other funding source, or if no method is specified, then the grant funds shall be allocated equally among all eligible recipients in the class, provided that such recipients sign a grant agreement, if required.
