PURPOSE:

This rulemaking will address changes that the Florida Legislature made during the 2011 and 2013 legislative sessions to Sections 290.044 through 290.0475, Florida Statutes. The rulemaking will also resolve conflicts between the rule and other sections of Florida Statutes and incorporate a revised process for environmental reviews required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Finally, the rulemaking will make it easier for local governments to understand the application process, find information related to economic development grants, and know what is required of them if they receive funding.

SUMMARY:

The rule covers how local units of government are determined to be eligible for Community Development Block Grant funding; the application process; the national objectives that must be met; what program categories are funded; the administrative requirements of subgrants, including financial management, environmental review, program implementation, procurement, audit and reporting requirements, and modifying and closing out subgrant agreements; the emergency set-aside program, and Section 108 loans.
