Summary


The changes outlined in the proposed Rule is necessary to align with statutory language and remove language that counties would not be eligible for additional awards if not in compliance with the prior awards. The change from “Board of County Commissioners” to “governing body of the jurisdiction” allows for different authority structures within Florida county governments and removes language regarding the carry forward of 25% of the award to the next fiscal year. The change to submit the request for match reduction will ensure that counties have an approved budget prior to making the request.
