‘‘(a) ALLOCATION AMONG STATES.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—Of the total amount appro-
priated for this subpart, the Attorney General shall,
except as provided in paragraph (2), allocate—
‘‘(A) 50 percent of such remaining amount
to each State in amounts that bear the same
ratio of—
‘‘(i) the total population of a State
to—
‘‘(ii) the total population of the
United States; and
‘‘(B) 50 percent of such remaining amount
to each State in amounts that bear the same
ratio of—

part 1 violent crimes of the Uniform Crime
Reports of the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation reported by such State for the
three most recent years reported by such
State to—
‘‘(ii) the average annual number of
such crimes reported by all States for such
years.
‘‘(2) MINIMUM ALLOCATION.—If carrying out
paragraph (1) would result in any State receiving an
allocation less than 0.25 percent of the total amount
(in this paragraph referred to as a ‘‘minimum allo-
cation State’’), then paragraph (1), as so carried
out, shall not apply, and the Attorney General shall
instead—
‘‘(A) allocate 0.25 percent of the total
amount to each State; and
‘‘(B) using the amount remaining after
carrying out subparagraph (A), carry out para-
graph (1) in a manner that excludes each min-
imum allocation State, including the population
of and the crimes reported by such State.
‘‘(b) ALLOCATION BETWEEN STATES AND UNITS OF
LOCAL GOVERNMENT.—Of the amounts allocated under
subsection (a)—
‘‘(1) 60 percent shall be for direct grants to
States, to be allocated under subsection (c); and

cated under subsection (d).
‘‘(c) ALLOCATION FOR STATE GOVERNMENTS.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—Of the amounts allocated
under subsection (b)(1), each State may retain for
the purposes described in section 501 an amount
that bears the same ratio of—
‘‘(A) total expenditures on criminal justice
by the State government in the most recently
completed fiscal year to—
‘‘(B) the total expenditure on criminal jus-
tice by the State government and units of local
government within the State in such year.
‘‘(2) REMAINING
AMOUNTS.—Except as pro-
vided in subsection (e)(1), any amounts remaining
after the allocation required by paragraph (1) shall
be made available to units of local government by

‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—Of the amounts allocated
under subsection (b)(2), grants for the purposes de-
scribed in section 501 shall be made directly to units
of local government within each State in accordance
with this subsection, subject to subsection (e).
‘‘(2) ALLOCATION.—
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—From the amounts re-
ferred to in paragraph (1) with respect to a
State (in this subsection referred to as the
‘local amount’), the Attorney General shall allo-
cate to each unit of local government an
amount which bears the same ratio to such
share as the average annual number of part 1
violent crimes reported by such unit to the Fed-
eral Bureau of Investigation for the 3 most re-
cent calendar years for which such data is avail-
able bears to the number of part 1 violent
crimes reported by all units of local government
in the State in which the unit is located to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation for such years.
‘‘(B) 
TRANSITIONAL
RULE.—Notwith-
standing subparagraph (A), for fiscal years
2005, 2006, and 2007, the Attorney General
shall allocate the local amount to units of local

reserved amount was allocated among reporting
and nonreporting units of local government.
‘‘(3) ANNEXED UNITS.—If a unit of local gov-
ernment in the State has been annexed since the
date of the collection of the data used by the Attor-
ney General in making allocations pursuant to this
section, the Attorney General shall pay the amount
that would have been allocated to such unit of local
government to the unit of local government that an-
nexed it.
‘‘(4) RESOLUTION
OF
DISPARATE
ALLOCA-
TIONS.—(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of
this subpart, if—
‘‘(i) the Attorney General certifies that a
unit of local government bears more than 50
percent of the costs of prosecution or incarcer-
ation that arise with respect to part 1 violent
crimes reported by a specified geographically
constituent unit of local government; and
‘‘(ii) but for this paragraph, the amount of
funds allocated under this section to—
‘‘(I) any one such specified geographi-
cally constituent unit of local government
exceeds 150 percent of the amount allo-
cated to the unit of local government cer-
tified pursuant to clause (i); or
‘‘(II) more than one such specified
geographically constituent unit of local
government exceeds 400 percent of the
amount allocated to the unit of local gov-
ernment certified pursuant to clause (i),
then in order to qualify for payment under this sub-
section, the unit of local government certified pursu-
ant to clause (i), together with any such specified
geographically constituent units of local government
described in clause (ii), shall submit to the Attorney
General a joint application for the aggregate of
funds allocated to such units of local government.
Such application shall specify the amount of such
funds that are to be distributed to each of the units
of local government and the purposes for which such
funds are to be used. The units of local government
involved may establish a joint local advisory board
for the purposes of carrying out this paragraph.
‘‘(B) In this paragraph, the term ‘geographi-
cally constituent unit of local government’ means a
unit of local government that has jurisdiction over
areas located within the boundaries of an area over
which a unit of local government certified pursuant
to clause (i) has jurisdiction.
‘‘(e) LIMITATION ON ALLOCATIONS TO UNITS OF
LOCAL GOVERNMENT.—
‘‘(1) MAXIMUM ALLOCATION.—No unit of local
government shall receive a total allocation under this
section that exceeds such unit’s total expenditures
on criminal justice services for the most recently
completed fiscal year for which data are available.
Any amount in excess of such total expenditures
shall be allocated proportionally among units of local
government whose allocations under this section do
not exceed their total expenditures on such services.
‘‘(2) ALLOCATIONS UNDER $10,000.—If the allo-
cation under this section to a unit of local govern-
ment is less than $10,000 for any fiscal year, the di-
rect grant to the State under subsection (c) shall be
increased by the amount of such allocation, to be
distributed (for the purposes described in section
501) among State police departments that provide
criminal justice services to units of local government
and units of local government whose allocation under
this section is less than $10,000.
‘‘(3) NON-REPORTING
UNITS.—No allocation
under this section shall be made to a unit of local
government that has not reported at least three
years of data on part 1 violent crimes of the Uni-
form Crime Reports to the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation within the immediately preceding 10 years.
‘‘(f) FUNDS NOT USED BY THE STATE.—If the At-
torney General determines, on the basis of information
available during any grant period, that any allocation (or
portion thereof) under this section to a State for such
grant period will not be required, or that a State will be
unable to qualify or receive funds under this subpart, or
that a State chooses not to participate in the program es-
tablished under this subpart, then such State’s allocation
(or portion thereof) shall be awarded by the Attorney Gen-
eral to units of local government, or combinations thereof,
within such State, giving priority to those jurisdictions
with the highest annual number of part 1 violent crimes
of the Uniform Crime Reports reported by the unit of local
government to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the
three most recent calendar years for which such data are
available.
