For fiscal year 2018 and each fiscal year thereafter, the Secretary of the Interior shall make a grant to each State for the purpose of permitting the State, directly or through subgrants with units of local government in that State, to maintain law and order on Federal land, protect individuals and property on Federal land, and enforce Federal law. Grant funds shall only be allowed to be used to carry out law enforcement functions on Federal land. Subject to paragraph (2), a State shall receive a grant under subsection
(a)in an amount that bears the same percentage to the amount appropriated for that fiscal year under subsection
(d)as the total acreage of Federal land in that State bears to the total acreage of Federal land in all States. The Secretary of the Interior shall modify the grant formula specified in paragraph
(1)to take into account annual visitation levels at individual units of Federal land in each State so that States whose Federal land receive the highest number of recreational users receive additional funds for law enforcement. Not later than April 1, 2017, the Secretary shall submit to Congress the Secretary’s proposal for modifying the grant formula to reflect visitation levels. A State or unit of local government receiving a grant or subgrant under this section shall submit to the Secretary of the Interior an annual report— certifying that the grant funds were used only for the Federal land law enforcement functions specified in subsection (a); accounting for all expenditures incurred by the State or unit of local government in connection with performing such law enforcement functions on Federal land; and indicating whether grant funds were sufficient or insufficient to cover such expenditures. For fiscal year 2018 and each fiscal year thereafter, there is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary of the Interior to make grants under this section— an amount equal to at least the total amount appropriated for all covered law enforcement agencies for fiscal year 2016; and such additional amounts as the Secretary considers to be necessary for law enforcement functions on Federal land.
