| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The Department amended the Rules in 2014 as a result of HB14-1301. This bill made state general funds available for FY15 for the Safe Routes to Schools Program, and specified that all of the grants awarded using the funds resulting from HB14-1301 must be for non-infrastructure projects. The bill also provides that if the Safe Routes to Schools Program received federal dollars in FY15, general funds appropriated for the program will be reduced by the amount of the federal moneys received. Finally, the bill eliminated the need to distribute projects by geographic distribution of the student population. Instead, the bill requires that the Department consider schools having greater than fifty percent of the students eligible for free or reduced-priced lunch as one of the criteria for awarding grants. |
