42 U.S.C. § 300x–6: Application for grant

Summary

To get a grant, a State must send an application that follows several rules. The State’s plan must reach the Secretary by September 1 before the year it wants money. A report about the previous fiscal year must reach the Secretary by December 1 of the grant year. The application must include the required funding agreements (except any that don’t apply), signed or certified by the State’s chief executive, and must give assurances that the State will follow the rules. It must also include the plan, specific information and reports called for by the program, any required recommendations or proof that the State met those recommendation rules, and any other forms or details the Secretary requires. For U.S. territories other than Puerto Rico, the Secretary may waive parts of these rules and related rules, but one specified provision cannot be waived.
