00                HOUSE CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 124(FIN)(efd fld)                                                          
01 "An Act relating to grants for alcoholism and drug abuse programs."                                                     
02 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF ALASKA:                                                                
03    * Section 1.  AS 47.30.475(c) is amended to read:                                                                  
04            (c)  Grants shall be awarded in a ratio of 75 [90] percent state money to 25 [10]                    
05       percent community money for the costs of providing staff and limited improvement,                                 
06       renovation, or new construction of facilities for alcohol or drug detoxification,                                 
07       rehabilitation, or "half-way house" care.  The department may waive all or part of the                            
08       requirement that state money be matched by community money if the department                                      
09       finds that community money is unavailable and waiver of the requirement is in the                                 
10       best interests of the state.  A grant for improving, renovating, or constructing may not                          
11       exceed $50,000 except when there is a lack of applicants for available money and then                             
12       only with the approval of the Advisory Board on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse.  The                                   
13       department is not required to award all money available under this program, or the full                           
14       percentages specified in this subsection, when another source of money is available or                            
15       could reasonably be made available to the applicant.
