  1 40 governments or groups of governments in judicial

  1 44    b.  Nine million dollars to one or more governments
  1 45 or groups of governments representing judicial
  1 46 election districts, awarded according to criteria
  1 47 developed by the task force established pursuant to

  1 50 the innovative nature of the proposal submitted by the
  2  1 government or group of governments, and the statewide
  2  2 need for the project proposed to be developed.

  2  4 subject to all of the following conditions:
  2  5    a.  A judicial election district may combine with
