Summary

States and certain local governments that get grants must send a report each fiscal year to the Attorney General. Local governments that get subgrants must send a report to the State. The Attorney General will tell them when and how to send the reports. Grant reports must summarize the work paid for by the grant, summarize any subgrant work, and say how well the work met the program’s goals. Subgrant reports must summarize the work and say how effective it was. The Attorney General can skip the effectiveness check if it would not be useful, the money is too small, or it would cause a financial hardship. Within 120 days after the end of any fiscal year when one or more grants were given, the Attorney General must send Congress a report. That report must include a summary of the state and subgrant reports, the Attorney General’s evaluation of the program, and any other information the Attorney General thinks is appropriate.
