Summary

When a grant or subgrant is given under this program, States and specially qualified local governments that get a grant must send a report to the Attorney General. Local governments that get a subgrant must send a report to their State. The reports must describe what was done with the money, and they must say how well the work met the program’s goals. The Attorney General can skip the required effectiveness review if it would be impractical, if the award is too small to justify the work, or if doing the review would cause a financial burden. Within 120 days after the end of any fiscal year in which one or more grants were made, the Attorney General must send Congress a report that summarizes the grant and subgrant reports, gives the Attorney General’s assessment of the grant program, and may include other appropriate information.
