§7115 — Title 22 Foreign Relations and Intercourse | U.S. Code

Summary

Makes certain grants and the people or groups who get them follow extra rules. A "covered grant" means money from the Attorney General or the Secretary of Health and Human Services under sections 7104(b), 7105(b), or 7105(f). A "covered recipient" is anyone who gets those funds. The Attorney General or the HHS Secretary can require those grants and recipients to follow either the rules in section 40002(b)(2) of the Violence Against Women Act (34 U.S.C. 12291(b)(2)) or the rules in section 306(c)(5) of the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (42 U.S.C. 10406(c)(5)). Covered recipients may share personally identifying information with researchers only when three things are true: the research is funded by the Department of Justice; required protections under part 22 of title 28, Code of Federal Regulations (or a successor) and section 10231(a) of title 34 are in place; and a current privacy certificate is on file showing how the researchers will meet those protections.
