MIDC Publishes Grant Manual to Assist Local Systems with Compliance Planning and Reporting
The Michigan Indigent Defense Commission approved the publication of a Grant Manual at the Commission’s June 16, 2020 meeting. The Grant Manual is created for the convenience of stakeholders seeking information about compliance with the MIDC’s standards and the contracts issued to indigent criminal defense systems pursuant to an approved plan and cost analysis. The Commission makes policy determinations regarding funding for the standards. The MIDC’s staff serves as liaisons between stakeholders and the Commission and are responsible for bringing novel questions to the Commission for consideration and action. The Grant Manaul is designed to capture decisions that the Commission has made through action on prior plans and costs for compliance with the standards. This manual will be revised regularly to reflect policy decisions by the Commission and made available on the Commission’s public website. Notifications of updates will be communicated to local funding units.
In addition to this manual, other relevant information is on the MIDC’s grants page to assist systems with compliance planning and reporting.
The MIDC Act, in its entirety, is the primary document governing MIDC activities and should be referred to for full context of excerpted materials in the Grant Manual.
