• Program cap reduced to $100 million per year.
• Annual cap reduced to $1 million per local unit of government per fiscal year.
Local match amounts:
• Cities and towns with a population less than 10,000 will receive funds using an 80/20 percent match.
• Cities and towns with a population greater than 10,000 people will receive funds using a 50/50 percent match.
• Counties with a population greater than 55,000 will receive funds using a 50/50 percent match.
