Legal Authority
For local grants, the agreement must be made with the unit
of local government or political subdivision of the state, not with
an operating division or function of the local governmental unit
or political subdivision of the state. Likewise, for statewide grants,
the agreement is made with the parent agency, not a bureau or division.
Please ensure that the organization, when entered into the Traffic
Safety Electronic Grant Management System (eGrants), adheres to
the following examples.
