Transition Plans. In the event a Grantee receives a Termination Notice pursuant to Paragraph 18 or 19 of this Grant Agreement, Grantee shall contribute input and appropriate language for a transition plan in conjunction with the new grantee selected by the State to assume control of the project, territory, or county. Current Grantee and new Grantee shall complete a Transition Plan draft and submit to the State for review and approval. Once approved by the State, both parties must execute the Transition Plan by including signatures of authorized representatives of each party and submit an executed copy to the State. Parties will then proceed with appropriate transition activities as outlined in the Transition Plan. WIC employees shall refrain from using knowledge gained through their WIC employment to attempt to influence deliberations or actions by Federal, state, or local legislative or executive branches. No grant funds can be used by WIC grantees for grassroots lobbying activity directed at inducing members of the public to contact their elected representatives to urge support of, or opposition to, proposed or pending legislation or appropriations or any regulation, administrative action, or order issued by the executive branch of any Federal, state or local government. Grantee communications from which an external audience may infer that it should contact legislators concerning specific legislation should be considered carefully because they may run afoul of the prohibition, unless the communications fall within certain recognized exceptions to the definition of “lobbying” or “influencing legislation.” Except in certain cases of state and local government communication, as part of their normal and recognized executive-legislative relationships, grantees are restricted from using federal funds to attempt to influence deliberations or actions by Federal, state, or local legislative or executive branches. This includes communications to a legislator or executive official that refer to and reflect a view on specific measure (legislative or executive).
