i. The GRANTEE hereby certifies that it is cognizant of the prohibition of conflicts of
interest described in Sections 112.311 through 112.326, Florida Statutes, and affirms that

avoid a potential violation of those statutes.
j. Not discriminate against any employee employed in the performance of this agreement,
or against any applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, gender, national

all subcontracts for services by this agreement.
k. In the event that the grantee expends a total amount of state financial assistance equal to
or in excess of $500,000 in any fiscal year of such GRANTEE, the grantee must have a
State single or project- specific audit for such fiscal year in accordance with Section
215.97, Florida Statutes; applicable rules of the Department of Financial Services; and
Chapters 10.550 (local governmental entities) or 10.650 (nonprofit and for - profit

Statutes, is not required. In the event that the GRANTEE expends less than $500,000 in
state financial assistance in its fiscal year and elects to have an audit conducted in

must be paid from the nonstate entity's resources (i.e., the cost of such an audit must be
paid from the grantee's resources obtained from other than State entities).

services and commodities, provided that such subcontract has been approved by the

obligations under this agreement without the prior written consent of the DIVISION, whose
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. The agreement transferee must demonstrate

DIVISION has no further liability to the GRANTEE beyond that already incurred by the
termination date. In the event of a state revenue shortfall, the total grant shall be reduced in

other grant agreement with any Division of Library and Information Services, the Division
of Historical Resources or the Division of Cultural Affairs, the Division may withhold
grant payments until the GRANTEE comes into compliance. Violation of a grant program
requirement, including but not limited to failure to submit grant reports and other grant
documents; submission of incomplete grant reports or other grant documents; or violation
of other grant agreement requirements; shall constitute a basis for the Division to place the
GRANTEE in noncompliance status with the Department of State.
