The rules being repealed and the newly adopted rules relate to the processes
and procedures governing all aspects of grants made through the Criminal Justice
Division. The processes and procedures include but are not limited to community
planning, application submission, awarding of grants, grant administration,
and program monitoring and auditing. The rules being repealed had been adopted
and amended over many years as new sources of funds became available, state
and federal laws regulating the use of grant funds changed, and practices
for awarding and monitoring grants evolved. As a result, rather than a coherent
overall framework, the rules had become fragmented and addressed issues in
a piecemeal manner. These problems were identified during the rule review
process and a recommendation was made to repeal the existing rules in their
totality and to adopt an entirely new set of rules which were written to provide
as much uniformity as possible across funding sources while still addressing
fund specific differences. The newly adopted rules are the end product of
this process.
Changes to the rules as proposed were non-substantive. Section 3.83(d)(2)
is amended by changing the word "anyway" to the phrase "any way". Section
3.703 is amended by substituting a colon in place of the period after the
word "area". These changes are merely technical in nature.
The public benefits anticipated as a result of enforcing the rules include
the following:
The new rules will provide more uniformity in the grant process which will
streamline the grant application, award, and administration functions as well
as improving overall grant management.
The benefits to state and local governments and grant recipients include
less paperwork, reduced use of clerical and administrative resources, and
greater overall efficiency. The state will also benefit because it will allow
more resources to be devoted to monitoring grants after they have been awarded.
The result will be a more effective and responsive system of funding criminal
justice projects and programs throughout Texas.
