This section authorizes specified Federal appropriations for the Corporation and says when those funds remain available. It separately regulates accounting for non-Federal money and limits grants or contracts for research, training and technical assistance, and information activities.
(a) Authorized appropriations. Congress may appropriate for the Corporation’s activities $90,000,000 for fiscal year 1975, $100,000,000 for fiscal year 1976, and amounts needed for fiscal year 1977. It may appropriate $205,000,000 for fiscal year 1978 and amounts needed for each of the next two fiscal years. The first appropriation may be made available after at least six Board members have been appointed and qualified. Appropriations for this purpose may cover no more than two fiscal years and must be paid to the Corporation in yearly installments at the beginning of each fiscal year, in amounts stated in appropriation Acts.
(b) Funds remain available. Funds appropriated under this section remain available until they are spent.
(c) Non-Federal funds. The Corporation must account for and report non-Federal money it receives separately from Federal money, showing receipts and payments separately. A recipient must do the same for money received from a source other than the Corporation. A recipient may not spend money received for legal help on a purpose this subchapter forbids. This does not stop recipients from receiving other public or tribal money, including foundation money benefiting Indians or Indian tribes, and spending it for the purposes for which it was provided. It also does not stop them from contracting or making other arrangements with private lawyers, private law firms, other State* or local lawyer entities, or legal-aid societies with separate public-defender programs, to provide legal help to eligible clients under this subchapter.
(d) Limit on grant or contract authority. In any fiscal year, no more than 10 percent of the amounts appropriated under subsection (a) may be used for grants or contracts under section 2996e(a)(3).
There are authorized to be appropriated for the purpose of carrying out the activities of the Corporation, $90,000,000 for fiscal year 1975, $100,000,000 for fiscal year 1976, and such sums as may be necessary for fiscal year 1977. There are authorized to be appropriated for the purpose of carrying out the activities of the Corporation $205,000,000 for the fiscal year 1978, and such sums as may be necessary for each of the two succeeding fiscal years. The first appropriation may be made available to the Corporation at any time after six or more members of the Board have been appointed and qualified. Appropriations for that purpose shall be made for not more than two fiscal years, and shall be paid to the Corporation in annual installments at the beginning of each fiscal year in such amounts as may be specified in Acts of Congress making appropriations.
Funds appropriated pursuant to this section shall remain available until expended.
Non-Federal funds received by the Corporation, and funds received by any recipient from a source other than the Corporation, shall be accounted for and reported as receipts and disbursements separate and distinct from Federal funds; but any funds so received for the provision of legal assistance shall not be expended by recipients for any purpose prohibited by this subchapter, except that this provision shall not be construed to prevent recipients from receiving other public funds or tribal funds (including foundation funds benefiting Indians or Indian tribes) and expending them in accordance with the purposes for which they are provided, or to prevent contracting or making other arrangements with private attorneys, private law firms, or other State* or local entities of attorneys, or with legal aid societies having separate public defender programs, for the provision of legal assistance to eligible clients under this subchapter.
Not more than 10 percent of the amounts appropriated pursuant to subsection (a) of this section for any fiscal year shall be available for grants or contracts under section 2996e(a)(3) of this title in any such year.
