6. The Office of the Attorney General shall annually hold three public hearings: one hearing in each of the northern, central, and southern regions of the State. The public hearings shall provide a forum to receive information on how the public funds are spent, testimony from grant award recipients on the effectiveness of their programs and best practices, and input from the public on whether the initiatives and the grant funded programs are accomplishing their respective missions. Public input shall be used to assess whether the grant-making metrics and process for issuing grants needs to be revised.
