California Air Resources Board

Summary

Would have streamlined the application and implementation process for covered grants, defined as a grant award not exceeding $20,000 with a duration not more than a year, with 501(c)(3) nonprofits as the eligible recipient. The bill would have had website requirements for a State agency or third-party contractor to post application information for a covered grant and to allow completion of a covered grant application online. The bill would have required advanced payment of at least 50% of the grant award and prohibited an administrator from requiring specified receipts, reports, and insurance coverage. Held on suspense in the Senate Appropriations Committee.
