Programs operating in areas with population density less than 11 persons per square mile may end operating hours at 5 p.m. instead of the standard 6 p.m. requirement.

Grant level adjustments for low-density area programs now trigger at 35% below target attendance (instead of 15%) over two consecutive years.

Department reviews for low-density programs occur when attendance falls below 55% of target (instead of 75%), with adjusted grant levels as appropriate.

Programs in low-density areas may be terminated after three consecutive years of failing to meet 55% of proposed attendance or measurable outcomes (instead of 75% attendance threshold).

Low-density area programs are exempt from requirements to maintain waiting lists and transfer funds only from programs meeting 70% attendance goals when allocating up to 125% of maximum grant amounts.
