34 U.S.C. § 20108 — Crime victims notification grants

(a) In general. The Director can make grants, as allowed under section 20103(c)(1)(A) of this title, to state, tribal, and local prosecutors' offices, law enforcement agencies, courts, jails, and correctional institutions, and to qualified public or private entities, to develop and put in place modern systems that notify crime victims — promptly and efficiently — about important dates and developments in the criminal proceedings involved, as long as the jurisdiction's laws are substantially equivalent to chapter 237 of title 18. (b) Integration of systems. Systems built under this section can be combined with existing case management systems the grant recipient already runs. (c) Authorization of appropriations. In addition to money available under section 20101(d) of this title, Congress authorized: (1) $5,000,000 for fiscal year 2005; and (2) $5,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009. (d) False Claims Act. Despite any other law, money collected under sections 3729 through 3731 of title 31 (the "False Claims Act") can be used for grants under this section, if Congress appropriates it.
