The Attorney General shall increase the amount provided to a State under the covered formula grants in accordance with this Act if the State has in place laws and policies that ensure that, with respect to criminal cases involving sex offenses (as defined by the State), protections similar to those offered to a victim of domestic violence are extended to a victim of a sex offense who is not in a familial or dating relationship with the perpetrator of such offense, including laws and policies that— expressly authorize judges and courts to issue, as a condition of bail, parole, probation, or other supervised release, protection orders that prohibit a defendant charged with a sex offense from having any contact with the victim or with the victim's friends, co-workers, or relatives; permit judges and courts, after finding a defendant guilty of a sex offense, to order a continuation of a protection order described in paragraph (1), or to otherwise restrict a defendant's contact with the victim, as a condition of bail, parole, probation, or other supervised release; and provide judges and courts with the authority to grant or extend a protection order until further order of a judge or court, as an alternative to issuing protection orders that expire on a specific date or upon termination of a sentence or period of bail, parole, probation, or other supervised release.
