Loan Star Libraries Administrative Rule 2.815 (c) states, "If a library has certified that it provides service to non-residents without
charge or it has elected to participate in the TexShare card program, the library must maintain these services for the duration of the
contract that it received." This means the library shall provide the same library services and may impose the same restrictions on
non-resident customers as it does for those customers who live locally. Texas Government Code, Section 441.138(c), states, "State
aid to a free tax -supported public library is a supplement to and not a replacement of local support."

any successor agency, to conduct an audit or investigation in connection with those funds. Grantee further agrees to cooperate fully
with the State Auditor's Office or its successor in the conduct of the audit or investigation, including providing access to any
information the state auditor considers relevant to the investigation or audit. Grantee will ensure that this clause concerning the
authority to audit funds received indirectly by Sub -grantees through Grantee, and the requirement to cooperate, is included in any
sub -grant awarded.
F. The Grantee agrees to maintain all financial and programmatic records, supporting documents, statistical records, and other records
relating to this grant award for a minimum of three years after Close of Grant. Close of Grant is defined for this grant as the date

IX. ENFORCEMENT
A. Remedies for noncompliance. If a Grantee or Sub -grantee materially fails to comply with any term of an award, whether stated in a
state statute or regulation, an assurance, in a state plan or application, a notice of award, or elsewhere, Grantor may take one or more
of the following actions, or impose other sanctions, as appropriate in the circumstances:
1. Temporarily withhold cash payments pending correction of the deficiency by the Grantee or Sub -grantee, or more severe
enforcement action by Grantor;
2. Disallow (that is, deny both use of funds and matching credit for) all or part of the cost of the activity or action not in
compliance;
3. Wholly or partly suspend or terminate the current award for the Grantee's or Sub -grantee's program;
4. Withhold further awards for the program; or
5. Take other remedies that may be legally available.
B. Hearings, appeals. In taking an enforcement action, Grantor will provide the Grantee or Sub -grantee an opportunity for such
hearing, appeal, or other administrative proceeding to which the Grantee or Sub -grantee is entitled under any statute or regulation
applicable to the action involved.
C. Effects of suspension and termination. Costs of Grantee or Sub -grantee resulting from obligations incurred by the Grantee or Sub-
grantee during a suspension or after termination of an award are not allowable unless Grantor expressly authorizes them in the notice
of suspension or termination, or subsequently. Other Grantee or Sub -grantee costs during suspension or after termination which are
necessary, and not reasonably avoidable, are allowable if
1. The costs resulting from obligations which were properly incurred by the Grantee or Sub -grantee before the effective date of
suspension or termination are not in anticipation of it and, in the case of a termination, are non -cancelable; and,
2. The costs would be allowable if the award were not suspended, or expired normally at the end of the funding period in which
the termination takes effect.
D. Relationship to Debarment and Suspension. The enforcement remedies identified in this section, including suspension and
termination, do not preclude Grantee or Sub -grantee from being subject to "Debarment and Suspension" under Executive Order
12549 (see UGMS Part III, Subpart C, Sec. 35) and state law.
