				  application for funding is rejected by the commission, or when an approved
				  subgrant is discontinued, the applicant or subgrantee may appeal the decision
				  of the commission by filing a notice of appeal with the Louisiana Commission on
				  Law Enforcement at the recognized business address. The notice of appeal must
				  be by certified mail and must be filed no later than 15 business days after
				  receipt of the notice of denial by the applicant or subgrantee.
B. Upon receipt of the notice of appeal by
				  the LCLE, the executive director will notify the commission that an appeal
				  hearing will be held on the date of the next regularly scheduled commission
				  meeting. The priorities committee will hear the appeal and make recommendations
				  to the commission. The executive director shall designate the time and place of
				  the meetings, and a copy of the notice shall be sent to the applicant or
				  subgrantee.
C. On the date of the
				  next regularly scheduled commission meeting, the priorities committee shall
				  meet and hear evidence by the applicant or subgrantee relative to reasons the
				  appeal should be granted. The applicant or subgrantee may present as many
				  witnesses as may be necessary to support his appeal, except that the committee
				  chairman may limit the number or time allotted to the witnesses where
				  necessary. The secretary to the commission shall take minutes of the appeal
				  hearing and the entire hearing shall be recorded. The committee may also
				  request other evidence relating to the application or project.
D. At the conclusion of the hearing, the
				  committee shall present its findings and make recommendations to the
				  commission.

				  event the appeal is denied, the applicant or subgrantee may, within 15 days of
				  the date of denial, file with the Office of the Governor and the Louisiana
				  Commission on Law Enforcement, a notice of appeal to the governor. The notice
				  of appeal must be by certified mail.

				  the governor, the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement shall have 15 days to
				  provide the applicant or subgrantee and the governor with the minutes of the
				  appeal hearing and a copy of the vote of the commission. The recorded tapes
				  shall also be made available to the governor at his request.
