Bill Summary
Municipal employees; eligible to receive grant funds paid through municipal treasury in certain circumstances
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to allow municipal employees to receive grant funds, such as those from community development block grants, even if those funds pass through the municipal treasury, provided the employee receives the benefit similarly to other grant recipients and does not have a decision-making role in determining who gets the grant funds; however, this exception does not apply to elected municipal officials, and violations of this section will still be considered a misdemeanor punishable by fines and potential jail time.
