(30 ILCS 740/3-4) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 692)
Sec. 3-4.
The Department is authorized to receive Section 18
funds and to make grants for operating and capital assistance to participants
which are eligible to receive such funds. Such grants shall not exceed
funds to be made available to the State from the federal government for
such purposes. Of funds appropriated in any fiscal year for participants
which are not eligible for assistance under Article II of this Act, the
Department shall apportion 75% of such funds among regions established by
the Department. Such distribution shall be calculated on the basis of nonurbanized area
population located outside of the boundaries of eligible participants under
Article II of this Act, square miles of land, and the percentage of transportation
of disadvantaged persons.
Grants of the funds apportioned may be made for operating assistance to
participants within any region in an aggregate amount not to exceed the
amount apportioned to such region. Grants of funds not apportioned may
be made for operating or capital assistance for participants in any region.
