1. (a) Grant funds used for travel expenses must be limited to the grantee agency's established mileage, per diem, and lodging policies. Federal regulations applicable to the relevant funding source may limit mileage reimbursement rates. If a grantee does not have established mileage, per diem, and lodging policies, then the grantee must use state travel guidelines. Funds requested by multi-jurisdictional task forces for meals and lodging are allowable only for travel to points at least 50 miles from the grantee agency's headquarters.
2. (b) Grantees using grant funds to develop and conduct training may not use grant funds to pay for transportation, lodging, per diem, or any related costs for participants. Crime Stoppers training projects and S.T.O.P. Violence Against Women Act Fund projects are exempt from this subsection.
3. (c) A person attending training courses paid for with grant funds must complete the course. Grantees must maintain records that properly document the completion of all grant-funded training courses.
