99664
. (a) The commission, with the assistance of the department,
shall commence its review of an application for a grant within 30
days of receipt of the application.
(b) The application shall either be approved or denied by the
commission within 180 days of its receipt, except that, if the
commission requests additional information from the applicant, the
time for approving or denying the application shall be calculated
from the date that the commission receives the additional information
requested.
(c) If the commission denies an application, it shall state the
specific reasons for that denial and may, in its discretion, permit
the application to be amended to remove those grounds for denial. The
commission shall have 180 days from the receipt of an amended
application to either approve or deny the amended application.
(d) The commission shall not deny any application which meets the
requirements of this part and which conforms to the regulations and
guidelines of the commission for the award of grants, nor shall the
commission unreasonably delay the approval of an application which
substantially conforms to those requirements if the applicant agrees
to allow the commission to modify the application to meet its
conditions for approval.
