LSC Update announces: "On June 26 [2008], LSC hosted a regulatory workshop to discuss proposed rule changes that would give the Corporation additional enforcement tools, or 'alternative sanctions,' to discipline grantees that violate federal law or LSC regulations. LSC's rulemaking workshops are designed to foster open dialogue with the stakeholder community -- represented in this case by members of the client community, leaders from LSC-funded programs, and staff from advocacy organizations like the Center for Law and Social Policy and the National Legal Aid and Defender Association -- regarding problems or concerns with the proposed rule changes, and to discuss ways that issues can be addressed. The specific sanctions under consideration, which are discussed more fully in LSC's Draft Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, would give LSC the ability to reduce a grantee's funding by less than 5 percent, and would allow the Corporation to suspend a grantee's funding for longer than the currently allowable 30 days."
