PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

The law sets exact federal funding amounts for this program: $997,500,000 for fiscal year 1996; $1,330,000,000 for 1997; $2,527,000,000 for 1998; $2,660,000,000 for 1999; and $2,753,100,000 for 2000. After money is set aside for other named program needs, the Attorney General must split the rest evenly: 50% for incarceration grants and 50% for incentive grants. If a State applies and shows it qualifies, the Attorney General must send that State its minimum share within 30 days. The money can only be used for the program’s stated goals. It cannot replace State funds; it must add to what States would already spend. Up to 3% of the remaining funds can pay for administration, research and evaluation, technical help, and data work. Funds remain available until spent. Unspent but released funds can stay available for later years if allowed by appropriations laws, and no executive branch official may delay reusing them. The federal share of any grant cannot be more than 90% of the project cost.
