571—28.18 (321G) Use of funds. If a grantee desires to use the approved funds for a purpose not within the approved project scope as stated in the grant approval letter, the grantee shall request an amendment to the project. If the department approves a project amendment, the department shall notify the project sponsor in writing. Whenever any real or personal property acquired, developed or maintained with snowmobile and ATV registration funds passes from the control of the grantee or is used for purposes other than the approved project purpose, such an act will be considered an unlawful use of the funds. Whenever the director determines that a grantee is in violation of this rule, that grantee shall be ineligible for further assistance until the matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of the department.
