§2-2-113. Evaluation of grant proposals; report to Legislature.

The commissioner shall consider only those grant proposals which receive the support of a majority of advisory commission members present and voting.

(b) The commissioner shall prepare and submit to the Legislature, not later than March 31 of each year, a report on grants made pursuant to this chapter and progress toward achieving the goals set forth for the program. The report shall include information on the names of the recipients, the amount of awards, the types of projects funded, an evaluation of the success of previously funded projects, and recommendations for improvements in the program.
