state plan for substance abuse services, and thereafter the review and comment
by the Department shall remain a part of the application documents.
B. Every applicant for any federal or state
funds, services, loans, grants-in-aid, or matching
funds, or services that are to be used in
connection with any substance abuse program shall submit a copy of the

any federal funds that are to be used in connection with any substance abuse
program shall submit a summary of the application for those funds to the
Department for review and comment simultaneously with submission of the
application to the funding source. If the application

then provide the Department with a complete copy of the application as funded
within 45 days of receiving official notification of funding.
DE. Each
state agency requesting an appropriation or a change in an existing
appropriation from the General Assembly for substance abuse programs shall
submit the request to the Department for review and comment to determine its
