Summary

The Center must write rules, after talking with federal, state, and local officials, that set the basic standards for who can take part under this chapter. If during any fiscal year the Center finds that some money given to a participating party won’t be needed or becomes available because the party didn’t follow the rules, that money can be reassigned. The Center must also write rules that explain how it decides a party failed to comply and must include notice and a chance for a hearing.
