History: P.A. 83-78 amended Subsecs. (b) and (c) to remove limitations (tying the amount of state grants to the number of children and youth in the municipality and requiring that any state administered federal funds allocated to the municipality for such units be included in determining the amount of the state grant) on state grants for an administrative core unit and for the direct services unit; Sec. 17-443a transferred to Sec. 17a-40 in 1991; P.A. 93-91 substituted commissioner and department of children and families for commissioner and department of children and youth services, effective July 1, 1993; P.A. 93-432 defined the functions of administrative core units, removed the reference to the availability of funds as related to the cost-sharing grants, established a time frame for new requests for grants and for already existing youth service bureaus and removed the mathematical formula for the distribution of grants in former Subsecs. (b) and (c), effective July 1, 1993; P.A. 95-339 transferred responsibility for the grants from the Commissioner of Children and Families to the Commissioner of Education, effective July 1, 1995 (Revisor’s note: A reference to Sec. 54-91d, repealed by P.A. 95-225, was deleted editorially by the Revisors); P.A. 96-178 deleted a provision to give priority to certain applicants and deleted requirement for certain applicants for grants pursuant to Sec. 10-19o to submit applications on or before January thirty-first of the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year for which the grant is requested, effective July 1, 1996; Sec. 17a-40 transferred to Sec. 10-19n in 1997.
