PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

The Director may make the rules and procedures needed to run the programs under this subchapter. Anyone who gets money must keep records the Director requires that show how much they got, how they spent it, the total cost of the project, and other funding used, so audits can be done. The Director can examine any books or records that seem related to how the funds were spent. Research or statistical information that identifies a private person may only be used for the purpose it was collected, may not be revealed or used in legal proceedings without that person’s consent, and is protected from legal process except as federal law allows. No one may be excluded from, denied benefits of, discriminated against in, or denied employment related to any project funded in whole or in part under this subchapter because of race, color, religion, national origin, handicap, or sex. Recipients who get administrative funds must certify the federal money will not replace State or local funds but will add to them. If, after reasonable notice and a hearing on the record, the Director finds a State has not complied, the Director may stop payments, suspend payments until the problem is fixed, or take other appropriate actions. The Director must report to the President and Congress on December 31, 1990, and every June 30 thereafter every two years about the revenue sources described in section 20101 and about how well the supported activities are working, and may recommend legislation.

Codification Section was formerly classified to section 10604 of Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare, prior to editorial reclassification and renumbering as this section. Some section numbers or references in amendment notes below reflect the classification of such sections or references prior to editorial reclassification.
