Summary

This Amendment revises the eligibility requirements for organizations and programs to receive a grant-in-aid and codifies oversight and accountability mechanisms that apply to recipients of grants-in-aid. This Amendment also eliminates the creation of the Grant-in-Aid Subcommittee and changes the effective date of this Act from January 1, 2027, to July 1, 2028. This Amendment requires that an organization must do all of the following to receive a grant-in-aid: • Adopt a conflict of interest policy for members of the organization’s Board of Directors (Board) and a whistleblower policy for employees and volunteers, including Board members. The organization must submit a signed certification that each member of the Board has received a copy of this conflict of interest policy with either a statement that all members of the Board have attested to being in compliance or a list of potential or perceived conflicts. • Submit a copy of the organization’s most recent audit and requires that the organization’s accounting and budget procedures be in writing and available upon request. It allows an organization that received a grant-in-aid in an amount under $250,000 for the current fiscal year to submit a copy of the organization’s most recent review or compilation of financial statements instead of an audit and if the organization cannot provide either an audit or a review or compilation of financial statements, to provide an explanation and other supporting documentation. • Provide testimonials from Delaware residents to document community support, if the organization received a grant-in-aid during the current fiscal year. This Amendment revises eligibility requirements for a program to receive a grant-in-aid as follows: • Clarifies that programs are eligible if they are complementary or supplemental to other programs. • Makes programs that provide child care for school-age children eligible. • Expands the requirement that a program fund at least half of its operations from sources of revenue other than a grant-in-aid to include any funding from this State other than Medicaid payments. This Amendment strengthens oversight and accountability of grants-in-aid by codifying the authority of the Controller General to do all of the following: • Contract for or conduct a performance or financial audit of the receipt, handling, or expenditure of a grant-in-aid by an organization that is not a state agency. • Delay or withhold an installment payment if an organization misspends a grant-in-aid, ceases operation, or is not providing the programs or services for which the grant-in-aid was appropriated. • Require that an organization repay money dispersed under a grant-in-aid after determining, in consultation with the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Joint Finance Committee, that the organization misused grant-in-aid money. This Amendment also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
