An eligible grantee must apply to the Attorney General and include a chief executive’s certification that the conditions in section 10461(c) are met or will be met by the later of the end of the next session of the State or tribal legislature or two years after September 13, 1994 (or, for one listed condition, the two-year period beginning on October 28, 2000). The application must also explain plans to carry out the goals in section 10461(a), name the agency or offices that will run the program, and include documents from victim service providers and relevant community groups showing they helped prepare the application and will be consulted during the program. When awarding grants, the Attorney General must give priority to applicants that do not already have centralized handling of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking cases; show a strong commitment to enforcing those laws and protection orders from other States and tribal jurisdictions; have or can show cooperative arrangements with neighboring areas to enforce such orders; and, for applications tied to paragraphs (4) or (7) of section 10461(b), plan to use the grant to build or improve data and communication systems (including computerized systems) and training to link police, prosecutors, courts, and tribal jurisdictions. The Attorney General must also each year collect and widely share information (including online) about successful data and communication systems with States, courts, tribal governments, and local governments.
