After a region's plan is approved, the department of environment and conservation may award matching grants for implementing the education program component of the plan from funds available in the solid waste management fund. The local share of the match shall be determined by the department, using an economic index based upon factors which include, but are not limited to, per capita income and property values of the local government. Jurisdictions falling within the lower economic scale on the index shall be eligible for lower matching rates.Acts 1991, ch. 451, § 45; T.C.A., § 68-31-847; Acts 1992, ch. 693, § 24; 1996, ch. 846, § 33.
