Assuring Compliance with LCC Duties

An LCC must comply with its duties as specified in 962 CMR 2.00 and elsewhere in the LCC Guidelines. When the MCC finds an LCC has not adequately complied with its duties, the MCC may suspend all or a part of MCC funding for that LCC. The MCC may also specify corrective actions that the LCC must take before the LCC can begin to receive funds again. If an LCC fails to take corrective action specified by the MCC, within a time frame specified by the MCC, the MCC may redistribute any funds allocated to that LCC. If an LCC appears unable to comply not only with its duties but also with corrective actions specified by the MCC, then the MCC may determine that a partial or complete change in the membership of the LCC may be in order to enable the community to begin receiving its funds again. In these extraordinary cases, the MCC may authorize the local appointing authority to remove a member or members from the LCC and appoint a new member or members.
