Section 264. Noncompliance with plan  


Latest version.
  • 1.  If  at  any time the division
      determines that a county plan is  not  being  complied  with,  it  shall
      notify  the  advisory  board  through  the  chairperson  and  the  state
      commission of correction in writing of such fact, and it shall  withhold
      any  portion of state funds not theretofore allocated. Such notice shall
      state the particular reasons for the determination and demand compliance
      with the plan within  sixty  days  of  the  notice,  setting  forth  the
      specific actions deemed necessary to secure compliance. If compliance is
      forthcoming  the  board  and the state commission of correction shall be
      notified of such fact in writing and any state funds heretofore withheld
      shall be released. If compliance with the plan is not  fulfilled  within
      such  time or within a thirty day extension period as authorized herein,
      the division shall notify the advisory board through the chairperson and
      the state commission of correction. Upon such notification,  the  county
      shall  be  deemed  in  noncompliance  with  the  approved  plan  and the
      provisions of  subdivision  eight  of  section  five  hundred-b  of  the
      correction law shall be applied.
        An  extension  may  be granted by the division for a thirty day period
      upon a request by the board through the chairperson, where the  division
      determines  it  to  be appropriate, setting forth specific reasons for a
      need for an extension and the steps which shall be undertaken to  be  in
      compliance at the end of such period.
        Any  notification  by  the division of non-compliance pursuant to this
      section shall be deemed a final determination for purposes  of  judicial
      review.
        2.  The  advisory  board,  through  its  chairperson,  may reapply for
      continuation  of  its  approved  plan  or  modified  plan,  provided  it
      certifies  that  it  has  complied  with  the  specific  actions  deemed
      necessary by the division to secure compliance. Within  thirty  days  of
      receipt of the application the division shall verify compliance with its
      notice  and  notify  the board and the state commission of correction of
      its decision.
