Section 1402(d)(3) of the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 ( 42 U.S.C. 10601(d)(3) ) is amended by adding at the end the following: The Director may use not more than 1 percent of the amount to be distributed from the Fund under this paragraph in a particular fiscal year to provide and improve direct assistance services for crime victims, including victim assistance coordinators and specialists, in the Federal criminal justice system (as described in section 3771 of title 18, United States Code, and section 503 of the Victims’ Rights and Restitution Act of 1990 ( 42 U.S.C. 10607 )) by a department or agency of the Federal Government other than the Department of Justice.
Beginning in the first fiscal year beginning after the date of enactment of this subparagraph and every fiscal year thereafter, the Director shall solicit requests for funding under clause (i). Before amounts are distributed from the Fund to a department or agency for the purpose described in clause (i), the Director shall evaluate whether the activities proposed to be carried out by such department or agency would duplicate services that are provided by another department or agency of the Federal Government (including the Department of Justice) using amounts from the Fund, and impose measures to avoid such duplication to the greatest extent possible. .
