Grants shall be suspended, terminated, or withdrawn, in whole or in part, by the commissioner if funds provided are used in a manner inconsistent with the policies of parts 5520.0100 to 5520.0800, or if it appears that funds are being used in a manner inconsistent with the stated goals and purpose of the grant application or approved amendments. Grants shall also be suspended, terminated, or withdrawn if it appears that the applicant is unable or unwilling to fulfill responsibilities set forth in the application.
In the event the commissioner believes that there is reason to suspend, terminate, or withdraw a grant, the commissioner shall provide written notice to the grant recipient stating the nature of the contemplated action, the anticipated effective date, and the reasons for the action. The grant recipient may submit a written response to the notice within five working days of receipt of the notice from the commissioner. After investigating the situation, including any information provided by the committee in response to the commissioner's notice, the commissioner shall determine final action with regard to suspension, termination, or withdrawal of the grant. The commissioner shall provide written notice of the final determination to all interested parties.
