31	31	potential grant recipient providing funds from non-state sources in
32	32	a total amount at least equal to:

45	45	SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply to a

54	54	amount greater than the amount appropriated to the commission for

58	58	to, implement those changes in law using other money available to
59	59	the commission for that purpose.
