‘‘(4) ensure that State law does not prevent a ju-
venile court judge from issuing a court order against
a parent, guardian, or custodian of a juvenile of-
fender regarding the supervision of such an offender
and from imposing sanctions for a violation of such
an order.
‘‘(b) LOCAL ELIGIBILITY.—
‘‘(1) SUBGRANT ELIGIBILITY.—To be eligible to
receive a subgrant, a unit of local government shall
provide such assurances to the State as the State shall
require, that, to the maximum extent applicable, the
unit of local government has laws or policies and pro-
grams which—
‘‘(A) ensure that juveniles who commit an
act after attaining 15 years of age that would be
a serious violent crime if committed by an adult
are treated as adults for purposes of prosecution
as a matter of law, or that the prosecutor has the
authority to determine whether or not to pros-
ecute such juveniles as adults;
‘‘(B) impose a sanction for every delinquent
or criminal act, or violation of probation, ensur-
ing that such sanctions escalate in severity with
each subsequent, more serious delinquent or
criminal act, or violation of probation; and
‘‘(C) ensure that there is a system of records
relating to any adjudication of a juvenile who is
adjudicated delinquent for conduct that if com-
mitted by an adult would constitute a felony
under Federal or State law which is a system
equivalent to that maintained for adults who
commit felonies under Federal or State law.
‘‘(2) SPECIAL RULE.—The requirements of para-
graph (1) shall apply to an eligible unit that receives
funds from the Director under section 1803, except
that information that would otherwise be submitted to

‘‘(a) STATE ALLOCATION.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—In accordance with regula-
tions promulgated pursuant to this part, the Director
shall allocate—
‘‘(A) 0.25 percent for each State; and
‘‘(B) of the total funds remaining after the
allocation under subparagraph (A), to each
State, an amount which bears the same ratio to
the amount of remaining funds described in this
subparagraph as the population of people under
the age of 18 living in such State for the most
recent calendar year in which such data is avail-
able bears to the population of people under the
age of 18 of all the States for such fiscal year.
‘‘(2) PROPORTIONAL
REDUCTION.—If amounts
available to carry out paragraph (1)(A) for any pay-
ment period are insufficient to pay in full the total
payment that any State is otherwise eligible to receive
under paragraph (1)(A) for such period, then the Di-
rector shall reduce payments under paragraph (1)(A)
for such payment period to the extent of such insuffi-
ciency. Reductions under the preceding sentence shall
be allocated among the States (other than States
whose payment is determined under paragraph (2))
in the same proportions as amounts would be allo-
cated under paragraph (1) without regard to para-
graph (2).
‘‘(3) PROHIBITION.—No funds allocated to a
State under this subsection or received by a State for
distribution under subsection (b) may be distributed
by the Director or by the State involved for any pro-
gram other than a program contained in an approved
application.

‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—Each State which receives
funds under subsection (a)(1) in a fiscal year shall
distribute not less than 75 percent of such amounts
received among units of local government, for the pur-
poses specified in section 1801. In making such dis-
tribution the State shall allocate to such units of local
government an amount which bears the same ratio
to the aggregate amount of such funds as—
‘‘(A) the sum of—
‘‘(i) the product of—
‘‘(I) two-thirds; multiplied by
‘‘(II) the average law enforcement ex-
penditure for such unit of local government
for the 3 most recent calendar years for
which such data is available; plus
‘‘(ii) the product of—
‘‘(I) one-third; multiplied by
‘‘(II) the average annual number of
part 1 violent crimes in such unit of local
government for the 3 most recent calendar
years for which such data is available, bears
to—
‘‘(B) the sum of the products determined under
subparagraph (A) for all such units of local govern-
ment in the State.
‘‘(2) EXPENDITURES.—The allocation any unit
of local government shall receive under paragraph (1)
for a payment period shall not exceed 100 percent of
law enforcement expenditures of the unit for such
payment period.
‘‘(3) REALLOCATION.—The amount of any unit
of local government’s allocation that is not available
to such unit by operation of paragraph (2) shall be
available to other units of local government that are
not affected by such operation in accordance with this
subsection.
‘‘(c) UNAVAILABILITY OF DATA FOR UNITS OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENT.—If the State has reason to believe that the
reported rate of part 1 violent crimes or law enforcement
expenditure for a unit of local government is insufficient
or inaccurate, the State shall—
‘‘(1) investigate the methodology used by the unit
to determine the accuracy of the submitted data; and
‘‘(2) if necessary, use the best available com-
parable data regarding the number of violent crimes
or law enforcement expenditure for the relevant years
for the unit of local government.
‘‘(d) LOCAL GOVERNMENT WITH ALLOCATIONS LESS
THAN $5,000.—If under this section a unit of local govern-
ment is allocated less than $5,000 for a payment period,
the amount allotted shall be expended by the State on serv-
ices to units of local government whose allotment is less
than such amount in a manner consistent with this part.
‘‘(e) DIRECT GRANTS TO ELIGIBLE UNITS.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—If a State does not qualify or
apply for funds reserved for allocation under sub-
section (a) by the application deadline established by
the Director, the Director shall reserve not more than
75 percent of the allocation that the State would have
received under subsection (a) for such fiscal year to
provide grants to eligible units which meet the re-
quirements for funding under subsection (b).
‘‘(2) AWARD BASIS.—In addition to the quali-
fication requirements for direct grants for eligible
units the Director may use the average amount allo-
cated by the States to like governmental units as a
basis for awarding grants under this section.
‘‘SEC. 1804. REGULATIONS.
