Summary

Gives the Secretary $80,000,000 to carry out the law. The money stays available until it is all spent. Up to $10,000,000 of that money can go to Japanese American Confinement Education Grants for Japanese American groups. Those grants must be competitive and at least $750,000 each. The Secretary must give priority to groups with fewer than 100 employees. For these grants, the Secretary normally requires a 50 percent match from non‑Federal sources, which can be cash or durable goods and materials the Secretary fairly values. The Secretary can waive all or part of that match if no reasonable way exists for the applicant to provide it and the project’s likely benefit is greater than the public interest in the match.
