A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AMEND THE STATE-COUNTY CRIMINAL JUSTICE PARTNERSHIP ACT.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 143B-273.15 reads as rewritten:
"§ 143B-273.15.  Funding formula.
To determine the grant amount for which a county or counties may apply, the granting authority shall apply the following formula:
(a)	Twenty percent (20%) of the total fiscal year appropriation and any reverted or unclaimed funds in the Account shall be distributed in the discretion of the Secretary to encourage innovative efforts to develop multicounty projects; to encourage cooperation and collaboration among existing services and avoid duplication of efforts; to provide for technical assistance to the counties in the development of county plans and in the evaluation of programs funded under this Article; to encourage the renovation of existing facilities; and to encourage innovative substance abuse programs.
(b)	Of the remaining eighty percent (80%) of the fund, a total funding amount will be set for each county based upon the following variables:
(1)	Twenty percent (20%) based on a fixed equal dollar amount for each county;
(2)	Sixty percent (60%) based on the county share of the State population; and
(3)	Twenty percent (20%) based on the supervised probation admissions rate for the county.
The sum of the amounts in subdivisions (1), (2), and (3) is the total amount of the funding that a county may apply for under this subsection.
Grants to participating counties are for a period of one fiscal year with unobligated funds being returned to the Account at the end of the grant period.  Funds are provided to participating counties on a reimbursement basis unless a county documents a need for an advance of grant funds."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1995.
