Organizations authorized to use grant awards to pay administrative costs for the Lights On program.

This bill allows nonstate organizations contracted to run the Lights On program to use grant funds for administrative costs, whereas counties, cities, and law enforcement agencies remain prohibited from doing so. To qualify, these organizations must submit a separate, itemized list of administrative expenses paid with the grant money in their required reports. The legislation also mandates that all applicants maintain records of vouchers and expenses related to the awarded funds. This change takes effect the day after the bill is finalized.
