G.The Agreement does not contain all the required language regarding fair housing and
civil rights obligations and the First Amendment contained certain material omissions in
incorporating such required language.
H.Under Notice CPD-23-02, urban counties have the option of drafting a separate
amendment to their existing cooperation agreements with signatory jurisdictions that
include the required language rather than drafting a new cooperation agreement that
contains the provisions.

regarding fair housing and civil rights obligations and to memorialize the attendant
obligations as though set forth in the Agreement.
