1. (a) The Commission or its designees will review all applications and shall award from the Fair Defense Account formula grants and discretionary grants.
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 Commission will fund an application.
3. (c) The Commission will inform applicants in writing or by electronic means of decisions to grant or deny applications for funding.
4. (d) If the Commission determines that an applicant has failed to submit the necessary information or has failed to comply with any Commission rule or other relevant statute, rule, or requirement, the Commission may hold a grantee's funds until the grantee has satisfied the requirements of a special condition imposed by the Commission. The Commission may reject the application and deny the grant for failure to satisfy the requirements.
