  1  4    In making grants pursuant to this lettered paragraph, the
  1  5 department shall consider the existence and amount of other
  1  6 funds available to an applicant for the designated project.  A
  1  7 grant awarded from moneys appropriated in this lettered
  1  8 paragraph shall not exceed $100,000 per project.  Not more
  1  9 than two grants may be awarded in the same county $200,000 may
  1 10 be awarded in the same county in the same round of grant
  1 11 reviews.
  1 12    Sec. 2.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Act, being deemed of
  1 13 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.
  1 14                           EXPLANATION
  1 15    This bill amends the 2008 Iowa Acts to allow the department
  1 16 of cultural affairs to award more than two historic
  1 17 preservation grants in the same county.
  1 18    The bill limits the total amount of grants made in a county
  1 19 to $200,000 during the same round of grant reviews, rather
  1 20 than limiting the total number of grants made in a county as
  1 21 provided by current law.
  1 22    The bill takes effect upon enactment.
