(1)The commission shall award grants to community corrections programs in

accordance with the policies established by KRS 196.700 to 196.735 and in

accordance with any laws enacted or promulgated for that purpose, including any

branch budget bill and appropriation provisions.

(2)Grants shall be awarded to community corrections programs whose community

corrections program plans meet the requirements set forth in KRS 196.720 and

which, in the commission's judgment, promise to meet the goals set forth in KRS

196.700 to 196.735. Grants shall be awarded to encourage a range of services in

each judicial circuit.

(3)Grants may be awarded only to community corrections programs which have

established community corrections boards as provided in KRS 196.725 unless the

commission determines that the community corrections program is governed by a

board which will serve the same functions as described in KRS 196.700 to 196.735,

and that establishment of a new or additional board as described in KRS 196.725

would impose an administrative burden upon or pose a conflict of interest for the

program.

(4)Grants shall not be awarded to programs that have failed to accomplish the goals set

forth in KRS 196.702(4) and that show no promise of doing so in the future, as

determined pursuant to KRS 196.735.

(5)Preference in funding may be given to judicial circuits in which programs and

services do not exist or are largely inadequate.
