The grant committee shall annually make available for grants category funds in the following percentages for the following categorical purposes:

A. For general ATV enforcement, 40%;   [PL 2003, c. 695, Pt. B, §4 (NEW); PL 2003, c. 695, Pt. C, §1 (AFF).]

3.  Money to be carried forward.  If the grant committee determines that not providing the full amount of category funds for a categorical purpose better serves the grant committee's strategic grant plan or if insufficient grant applications in a particular year conform to the strategic plan for a particular categorical purpose, the grant committee shall carry forward the unspent money for use in succeeding years for the same categorical purpose.

[PL 2003, c. 695, Pt. B, §4 (NEW); PL 2003, c. 695, Pt. C, §1 (AFF).]
