or expanding such youth service bureaus, the state, acting through the Commissioner
of Education, shall provide cost-sharing grants, subject to the provisions of this section
for (1) the cost of an administrative core unit and (2) the cost of the direct services
unit provided by such youth service bureau. No state grant shall be made for capital
expenditures of such bureaus. All youth service bureaus shall submit a request for a grant,
pursuant to this section and sections 10-19m and 10-19o, on or before May fifteenth of
the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year for which such grant is requested.

1, 1993; P.A. 95-339 transferred responsibility for the grants from the Commissioner of Children and Families to the
Commissioner of Education, effective July 1, 1995 (Revisor's note: A reference to Sec. 54-91d, repealed by P.A. 95-225,
