Eligible grantees must send an application to the Attorney General that includes a statement from the top official of the State, tribal government, court, or local government saying the required conditions in section 10461(c) are already met or will be met by the later of: the end of the next session of the State or tribal legislature, or two years after September 13, 1994 (or, for a specific condition, the two-year period that began on October 28, 2000). The application must also explain how the grantee will carry out the goals in section 10461(a), name the agency or offices that will run the program, and include written proof that victim service providers and, when appropriate, population-specific organizations helped make the application and will be consulted during the program. When giving out grants, the Attorney General must favor applicants that do not already have centralized handling of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking cases; that show a strong plan to enforce laws and prosecute these crimes, including honoring protection orders from other States and tribal jurisdictions; that have or can make cooperative agreements with nearby jurisdictions to help enforce those orders; and that plan to use the grant to build and train people on data and communication systems to link police, prosecutors, courts, and tribal jurisdictions to find and track protection orders and violations where such systems are missing or not effective. The Attorney General must also each year collect and widely share information, including online, about successful data and communication systems for States, courts, tribal governments, and local governments.
