(a) The term of a grant shall be specified in the Statement
of Grant Award or other funding document.
(b) If a grantee wishes to terminate a grant in whole
or in part before the end of the award period, the grantee must notify
the Commission in writing. The Commission or its designee will arrange
with the grantee an early termination of the award, which may include
transfer or disposal of property and return of unused funds.
(c) The Commission may terminate any grant, in whole
or in part, when:
(1) the grantee and the executive director of the Commission
agree to do so;
(2) the grantee fails to comply with any term, condition,
statute, rule, regulation, or guideline;
(3) indigent defense funds are no longer available;
(4) operational conditions exist that make it unlikely
that grant or program objectives will be accomplished; or
(5) The grantee has acted in bad faith.
(d) A grantee may submit a written request for an extension
of the funding period. The Commission must receive requests for funding
extensions at least 30 days prior to the end of the funding period.
The executive director of the Commission may approve extensions of
the funding period for up to six months. Requests to extend the funding
period beyond six months of the original term must be approved by
the Commission.
