If any provisions of 606 CMR 15.00 would preclude use of federal or other funds that would assist in meeting the goals of the EEOST Fund, the Board of Early Education and Care authorizes the EEC Commissioner to modify, waive, or negotiate such modifications to 606 CMR 15.00 as may be required to allow the use of such funds; provided however, that the interests of the Commonwealth shall remain protected.
