§ 4824. State financial assistance awards
(a) State grant. State financial assistance awarded under this subchapter shall be in the form of a
grant. When a State grant is intended to match federal financial assistance for the

financial assistance has also been approved or awarded. An applicant for a State grant
shall pay at least 10 percent of the total eligible project cost. The dollar amount
of a State grant shall be equal to the total eligible project cost, less 10 percent
of the total as paid by the applicant, and less the amount of any federal assistance
awarded, except that a State grant shall not exceed 90 percent of the total eligible
project cost.
(b) Grant terms. A State grant awarded to an applicant under this subchapter shall be awarded in accordance
with a State grant containing terms substantially the same as those required for receipt
of a federal award for the same purpose from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, except
as provided by the Secretary by rule. (Added 1995, No. 62, § 37, eff. April 26, 1995; amended 2003, No. 42, § 2, eff. May 27, 2003; 2007, No. 112 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. May 3, 2008; 2011, No. 104 (Adj. Sess.), § 28b, eff. May 7, 2012; 2015, No. 39, § 5.)
