At the discretion of the department, an initial disbursement of 50% to the grant recipient upon execution of the grant agreement consistent with part II, chapter 10, section 200 of the Financial Management Guide.

A requirement that after the initial 50% disbursement, additional funds shall be disbursed only after verification that the initial payment has been fully expended, in accordance with the project purpose.

As applicable, the legislative sponsor of a grant described in subsection (1) shall comply with all applicable laws concerning conflicts of interest in seeking a direct grant. A legislative sponsor shall not seek a grant for a recipient if a conflict of interest exists.
