19 (6) It is the intent of the legislature that the Michigan council

20 for arts and cultural affairs continue to take appropriate steps to

21 ensure that all organizations receiving state arts anchor organization

22 grants have combined grant awards, as defined in subsection (8), of no

23 more than 15.0% of operating revenue for the fiscal year ending

24 September 30, 2005 and beyond. As used in this subsection, "operating

23 awards in the anchor organization program at a level not to exceed 70%

24 of the total amount appropriated for arts and cultural grants.

6 have been completed or are terminated. The purpose of these work

7 projects is the identification, designation, and preservation of

1 the funds may also be dedicated to program administration and project

2 coordination.

3 (2) The department shall allocate grant funds under this section

14 LIBRARY OF MICHIGAN

15 Sec. 601. In order to receive subregional state aid as

16 appropriated in part 1 to the library of Michigan, a subregional

17 library's fiscal agency must agree to maintain local funding support

18 at the same level in the current fiscal year as in the fiscal agency's

19 preceding fiscal year. If a reduction in expenditures equally affects

20 all agencies in a local unit of government that is the subregional

21 library's fiscal agency, that reduction shall not be interpreted as a

22 reduction in local support and shall not disqualify a subregional

23 library from receiving state aid under part 1. If a reduction in

24 income affects a library cooperative or district library that is a

25 subregional library's fiscal agency or a reduction in expenditures for

26 the subregional library's fiscal agency, a reduction in expenditures

27 for the subregional library shall not be interpreted as a reduction in

1 local support and shall not disqualify a subregional library from

2 receiving state aid under part 1.

3 Sec. 602. The funds appropriated in part 1 for a subregional

4 library shall not be released until a budget for that subregional

5 library has been approved by the department for expenditures for

6 library services directly serving the blind and persons with

7 disabilities. Subregional state aid shall be used only for providing

8 services to the blind and to persons with disabilities.

9 Sec. 603. Of the funds appropriated in part 1 for the operation

10 of the library of Michigan, a portion may be used for statewide

11 database access such as making computerized databases, searches of
