RULE §57.9Nonsupplanting Requirement

(a) State funds provided by this Act shall not be used to supplant state or local funds.

(b) Supplanting means the replacement of other funds with Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority (MVCPA) grant funds. It shall also include using existing resources already available to a program activity as cash match.

(c) Positions which existed prior to new grant award approval and were funded from any source other than MVCPA grant funds are not eligible for grant funding or to be used as cash match.

(d) If a grant program is reduced by 20% or more from the previous year, and as a result, grant funded or match positions are transferred to other duties for the grant year, they may be returned to grant funding in the subsequent grant year. This exception is not available for any positions that have not been grant funded or used as match for more than one grant year.

(e) Each grantee shall certify that MVCPA funds have not been used to replace state or local funds that would have been available in the absence of MVCPA funds. The certification shall be incorporated in each grantee's expenditure report.
