Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR

Division:

Division of Emergency Management

Chapter:

BASE FUNDING FOR COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCIES, EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM AND MUNICIPAL COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM RULE

Overview

RULE:

27P-19.002	Definitions
27P-19.003	Limitations
27P-19.004	Base Grant Eligibility
27P-19.005	Base Grant Distribution Formula
27P-19.006	Reallocation of Base Grant Funds

PURPOSE:

The purpose of these amendments is to align the base grant eligibility requirement with the statutory language and increase the amount of time counties have to submit requests for a match.

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.
