PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

An eligible grantee must send an application to the Attorney General that includes a statement from the top State, tribal, court, or local official saying certain required conditions in the law are met or will be met by whichever is later: the date the next State or tribal legislative session ends, or two years after September 13, 1994. For one specific condition the deadline is two years after October 28, 2000. The application must also explain how the grantee will carry out the law’s goals, name the agency or offices that will run the program, and include letters or documents from victim service groups and population-specific organizations showing they helped write the application and saying where they will be consulted. The Attorney General will give priority to applicants that do not yet have centralized handling of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or dating violence cases; that promise strong law enforcement and prosecution, including enforcing protection orders from other States and tribal areas; that have or can show good cooperation with nearby jurisdictions to enforce such orders; and that plan to use the grant to build or improve data and communication systems (and train people to use them) to link police, prosecutors, courts, and tribal jurisdictions to find and track protection orders and violations. The Attorney General must also each year collect and widely share information about successful data and communication systems with States, courts, tribal governments, and local governments, including online.
