<br />Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program <br />Florida Department of Law Enforcement <br /> <br />"Equal Treatment Regulation"). The Equal Treatment Regulation provides in part that <br />Department of Justice grant awards of direct funding may not be used to fund any inherently <br />religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. Recipients of direct <br />grants may still engage in inherently religious activities, but such activities must be separate in <br />time or place from the Department of Justice funded program, and participation in such activities <br />by individuals receiving services from the grantee or a sub-grantee must be voluntary. The Equal <br />Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs directly <br />funded by the Department of Justice are not permitted to discriminate in the provision of services <br />on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. Notwithstanding any other special condition of this award, <br />faith based organizations may, in some circumstances, consider religion as a basis for <br />employment. See http://www.ojp.gov/aboutJocr/equaUbo.htm. <br /> <br />61. Certification for Employees Working Solely on a Single Federal Award <br /> <br />Any project staff that are fully funded by the grant must certify that they worked solely on the <br />grant. The certification must be prepared at least semi annually and must be signed by the <br />employee and by a supervisory official having first hand knowledge of the work performed by the <br />employee. <br /> <br />SFY 2010 <br /> <br />Page 17 <br />
