distributed to the forty-four (44) county commission chairmen. The summary

assistance to local disaster agencies.
    (2)  Not less than thirty-four percent (34%) of the eligible direct
assistance funds shall be subgranted by the Idaho bureau of homeland security
to the local disaster agencies. Funds shall be distributed to the local
disaster agencies subject to the provisions and rules of the Idaho bureau of
homeland security, the federal emergency management agency through the Robert
T. Stafford Act, title 44 of the code of federal regulations, and pertinent
circulars published by the United States office of management and budget.
    (3)  Direct financial assistance to the local disaster agencies is not an
entitlement. Subgrants are awarded through the Idaho bureau of homeland
security for the purpose of assisting counties to achieve goals and objectives
outlined in an approved county grant proposal.
