6. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2003, shall be invalid and void.
7. Any county law enforcement entity or established task force with a memorandum of understanding and protocol may apply for grants from the MoSMART fund on an application to be developed by the department of public safety with the approval of MoSMART. All applications shall be evaluated by MoSMART and approved or denied based upon the level of funding designated for methamphetamine enforcement before 1997 and upon current need and circumstances. No applicant shall receive a MoSMART grant in excess of one hundred thousand dollars per year. The department of public safety shall monitor all MoSMART grants.
8. MoSMART's anti-methamphetamine funding priorities are as follows:
(1) Sheriffs who are participating in coordinated multijurisdictional task forces and have their task forces apply for funding;
(2) Sheriffs whose county has been designated HIDTA counties, yet have received no HIDTA or narcotics assistance program funding; and
(3) Sheriffs without HIDTA designations or task forces, whose application justifies the need for MoSMART funds to eliminate methamphetamine labs.
9. MoSMART shall administer the deputy sheriff salary supplementation fund as provided under section 57.278.
10. Beginning August 28, 2013, the department of revenue shall begin transferring any records related to the issuance of a concealed carry permit to MoSMART for dissemination to the sheriff of the county or city not within a county in which the applicant or permit holder resides.
