The bill requires the executive director of the department of public safety to promulgate rules for the administration of the grant program. At a minimum, the rules must specify the time frames for applying for grants, the form of the grant program application, and the time frames for distributing grant money.

Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Bill SB 18-059 clarify the procedures for grant awards aimed at law enforcement agencies. Most notably, it now explicitly states that any organization awarded a grant must notify the public about the selection within one business day, improving transparency. Additionally, it allows for challenges to the selection process if there are claims of unfairness in how a contractor or vendor was chosen. These changes are significant because they enhance accountability and ensure that the grant process is carried out fairly.
