§ 1066 Grant Interpretation Rules

This law says that grants are treated the same way as regular contracts, unless the law says something different.

Key Takeaways

  • •Grants follow the same basic rules as contracts.
  • •Only the specific article can change how this works.
  • •If the law doesn't say otherwise, treat a grant like a contract.

Example

A city gives a grant to a local nonprofit to run a youth sports program.

If there's a dispute about the grant, the rules for contracts will be used to decide it, just like they would for a deal between two businesses.
