Sec. 101A.106.  REVIEW OF ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AND PROGRAMS.  (a)  The executive commissioner by rule shall define "administrative costs" as used in this section.  However, if a standard definition of administrative costs is required by law to be used by state agencies, the executive commissioner shall use that definition.
(b)  To determine the administrative costs incurred by an entity, including an area agency on aging and including an entity that spends money distributed by the department under Section 101A.101 or 101A.102 in engaging in a program that is funded in any part by money derived from the department under this chapter, the department shall request appropriate information from the entity.
(c)  The executive commissioner shall establish the maximum amount of administrative costs that may be incurred by the entity in engaging in the program.
(d)  The department periodically shall review the actions of entities receiving funds from the department under this chapter and shall document its review.  The review of an entity that spends money distributed under Section 101A.102 must include on-site evaluations of the entity and must include the review of documentation, which shall be required by the department, of the services performed by the aged in programs under Section 101A.102.
