1. (a) The Task Force or its designees will review all applications and shall award from the Fair Defense Account formula grants, discretionary grants, or other funds.
2. (b) Upon reviewing an application, staff may require an applicant to submit, within a specified time, additional information to complete the review or to clarify or justify the application. Neither a request for additional information nor the issuance of a preliminary review report means that the Task Force will fund an application.
3. (c) The Task Force will inform applicants in writing or by electronic means of decisions to grant or deny applications for funding.
4. (d) If the Task Force determines that an applicant has failed to submit the necessary information or has failed to comply with any Task Force rule or other relevant statute, rule, or requirement, the Task Force may hold a grantee's funds until the grantee has satisfied the requirements of a special condition imposed by the Task Force. The Task Force may reject the application and deny the grant for failure to satisfy the requirements.
5. (e) Except as provided by law, all funding decisions made by the Task Force or its designees are final and are not subject to appeal.
