Title 34 › Subtitle Subtitle I— Comprehensive Acts › Chapter 101— JUSTICE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT › Subchapter XXX— DRUG COURTS › § 10617
Summary
Attorney General must try to spread grants fairly. If a State and local governments (not Indian tribes) get no grants in a fiscal year, the Bureau of Justice Assistance must give State and eligible applicants help and training so they can compete for future funding and strengthen drug courts, with attention to rural areas.
