R 125.211 Applicability; sanctions.

Rule 211. (1) The provisions of this part apply to any program or transaction funded or administered by the authority, including any of the following: (a) Grants, assistance contracts, loans, subsidies, awards, loan service contracts, allocations, or contracts related to federal tax credits administered by the authority. (b) Participation or agency contracts for authority programs. (c) Professional or technical service contracts or subcontracts. (2) Sanctions imposed pursuant to this part do not preclude a party from the purchase from the authority of housing developments or single-family homes that the authority has acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure if the acquisition is on a cash basis or made with financing from sources other than the authority. (3) Sanctions imposed pursuant to this part do not bar an individual from receipt of any funds, credits, or benefits, as administered by the authority, that the individual is otherwise entitled under federal or state law; however, this exception does not enable or authorize participation in the program involving the applicable funds, credit, or benefit beyond the mere receipt of the funds, credit, or benefit. This provision does not prevent sanctions under this part where the authority acts as program administrator and has the ability to impose additional requirements beyond those requirements of state or federal law as a prerequisite to receipt of the respective funds, credit, or benefit. (4) Individuals are subject to the provisions of this part whether their involvement is as a contractor, participant, or one receiving funds directly or indirectly from a contractor or a participant. Individuals are subject to the provisions of this part whether or not the conduct for which a sanction is imposed occurred while the individual was engaged in an authority program or transaction. Individuals are subject to the provisions of this part whether their actions upon which a sanction is based were taken on their own behalf or on behalf of another individual. (5) If a program participant is debarred or suspended by any federal agency from participation in any federal program, federal debarment and suspension proceedings and findings that result in debarment or suspension are effective as to any federal program that the authority participates in. The lack of a federal finding as to debarment or suspension does not prevent the authority from proceeding against an authority-administered federal program participant under this part.
