AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•Once your project gets approved and money is given, you can't ask for more money later.
•If your project costs less than the money you got, you have to give back the extra money.
•If your project costs more than the money you got, you have to pay the extra yourself.

Example

You get $10,000 from the state to build a new library shelf.

If you finish the shelf and only spend $8,000, you must give back the $2,000 you didn’t use. If the shelf ends up costing $12,000, you have to pay the extra $2,000 yourself—the state won’t give you more money.

§ 19965 Project Funding Limits

Once an application has been approved by the board and included in the State Librarian’s request to the committee, the amount of funding to be provided to the applicant shall not be increased. Any actual changes in project costs shall be the full responsibility of the applicant. In the event that the amount of funding which is provided is greater than the cost of the project, the applicant shall return that portion of the funding which exceeds the cost of the project to the State Librarian. (Added by Stats. 1988, Ch. 49, Sec. 1. Approved in Proposition 85 at the November 8, 1988, election.)
