An Act to waive chargebacks on state grants, federal grant awards, federal subgrants and subsidies for the Regional Emergency Communication Center on Martha's Vineyard

This bill (HD 698) exempts the Dukes County Sheriff's Regional Emergency Communication Center on Martha's Vineyard from specific reimbursement fees ("chargebacks") on state and federal grants. It removes requirements to repay fringe benefits, indirect costs, and payroll taxes when salary expenses are shifted back to the awarding agency under an Interdepartmental Service Agreement. This directly affects the emergency communication center by preventing financial penalties when managing grant funds through interagency agreements. The policy change simplifies grant administration for the center without altering grant eligibility or funding amounts.
