This rule governs the procedural requirements for county boards applying for behavioral health grants administered by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Applicants must submit a grant application on commissioner-prescribed forms including budget information, and beginning in 1994–1995, the application must be incorporated into the county's biennial community social services plan (except for special project grants). The application must be signed by the county board chair or accompanied by an approving board resolution, with joint applications requiring signatures or resolutions from each participating county.
