6 U.S.C. § 321n — Acceptance of gifts

(a) Authority. The Secretary may accept and use gifts — of real property, personal property, or services, including services from guest lecturers — for activities of the Center for Domestic Preparedness. The gifts must be for activities that are otherwise allowed and that relate to preventing, preparing for, protecting against, or responding to a natural disaster, an act of terrorism, or another man-made disaster, including one involving a weapon of mass destruction. (b) Prohibition. The Secretary cannot accept a gift if the Secretary decides that using the property or service would make it look like — or actually make — a Department program or a person in a Department program dishonest or compromised. (c) Report. (1) In general. Each year, the Secretary must send a report to the House Committee on Homeland Security and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. The report must list every gift accepted that year, explain how each gift helped the Center for Domestic Preparedness do its job, and state how much money the government saved by accepting the gifts. (2) Publication. Each of these reports must be made available to the public.
