§ 275.761 — Maintenance of Effort Requirements Reduced
Plain-Language Summary
This section reduces county maintenance of effort requirements to 90 percent of the 2011 levels. Counties must spend certain minimum amounts on programs like libraries and social services, and this section lowers those minimums. The reduction cannot cause the state to spend more or lose federal funds.
