States receiving trauma grant money cannot use it for cash payments to patients, buying property, meeting other federal funding requirements, or giving money to for-profit groups. The funds must go only toward carrying out the required state plan changes. The Secretary can waive these rules if the State's plan cannot be carried out any other way.

(a) In general The Secretary can pay a State under section 300d–11(a) only if the State agrees not to spend the money on: (1) anything other than developing, running, and monitoring the plan changes required by section 300d–11(b); (2) cash payments to people who receive services; (3) buying or improving real property, other than minor remodeling; (4) meeting a requirement to spend non-federal money as a condition of getting other federal money; or (5) giving financial help to any group that is not public or nonprofit. (b) Waiver The Secretary may waive one of these restrictions, but only if the Secretary decides the State's plan, as submitted under section 300d–14(a), cannot otherwise be carried out.
