BACKGROUND Ax President Bush's request, GJngress consolidated the Byrne Grants and LLEBG into a single program known as the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant GAG) in order to streamline funding and grant administration. The following new JAG guidelines were implemented that changed the grant application, funding formulas and grant administration processes. . JAG funds are split 60-40%, with 60% going to the State of California for the Edward Byrne Memorial grants administered by the Office of Emergency Services. The remaining 40% go to local law enforcement agencies as grant funds formerly known as the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant. . One aggregate grant application for all JAG funds allocated to county law enforcement agencies must be filed with the Bureau of Justice Assistance. . One jurisdiction in the county must act as the grant administrator and fiscal agent for JAG funds and may charge an administrative fee for performing these duties. . The mandatory 10% grant match was eliminated. . The public hearing and advisory board requirements were eliminated. . An Interlocal Agreement concerning the JAG program must be signed by all jurisdictions in the GJuntyand must accompany the grant application. The GJunty Law & Justice Group has agreed to serve as the grant administrator and fiscal agent for JAG program funds and will charge each recipient a 5% administrative fee. The GJunty of San Bernardino has prepared an Interlocal Agreement between the cities within San Bernardino GJunty and the GJunty of San Bernardino, identifying the GJunty Law & Justice Group as the grant administrator and fiscal agent and detailing JAG grant administration and billing procedures.
