Explanation
(This amendment provides language that specifically identifies judicial circuits that were selected and who received federal grants to establish drug court programs. The federal grants were awarded directly to these localities and the current language restricts the ability for the matching State funds to be used for the intended purpose. The Department of Criminal Justice Services will oversee the appropriate distribution of the funds.)
