Last updated Sep 22, 2026|Official source

Summary

Recipients of money under this chapter must keep the records the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) requires. Those records must show how much money was received, how it was spent, the total cost of the project, how much came from other sources, and any other papers needed for an audit. OJP and its authorized agents can inspect any books or records that seem related to the grants, contracts, subgrants, or subcontracts. The Comptroller General and their agents can also audit those records for up to three years after the project ends. These rules apply to all recipients, whether they get money directly or through others. The Bureau of Justice Assistance must run a revolving fund to support projects that buy stolen goods to stop illegal trade. Any income or royalties from those projects, and money from selling or using unclaimed goods, must go into the fund. If someone proves legal ownership, the fund’s Administrator may claim back the federal funds spent to buy the item, and those proceeds also go into the fund. The Administrator can make payments from the fund, including grants, for these purposes.
