Section 505 of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 ( 34 U.S.C. 10156 ) is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: In the case of a State that receives funds for a fiscal year (beginning with fiscal year 2020) under this subpart and that has in effect throughout the State for such fiscal year laws to provide for expungement with respect to certain criminal records that are substantially similar to the Federal rights, procedures, requirements, effects, and penalties set forth in subchapter D of chapter 229 of title 18, United States Code, the amount of funds that would otherwise be allocated under this subpart to such State for such fiscal year shall be increased by 5 percent.
In the case of a State that receives funds for a fiscal year (beginning with fiscal year 2020) under this subpart and that does not have in effect throughout the State for such fiscal year laws to provide for expungement with respect to certain criminal records that are substantially similar to the Federal rights, procedures, requirements, effects, and penalties set forth in subchapter D of chapter 229 of title 18, United States Code, the amount of such funds that would otherwise be allocated under this subpart to such State for such fiscal year shall be decreased by 5 percent.
The Attorney General shall submit to the Committee of the Judiciary of the House of Representatives and the Committee of the Judiciary of the Senate an annual report (which shall be made publicly available) that, with respect to the year involved— lists the States that have (and those States which do not have) in effect throughout the State laws to provide for expungement with respect to certain criminal records that are substantially similar to the Federal rights, procedures, requirements, effects, and penalties set forth in subchapter D of chapter 229 of title 18, United States Code; and describes the increases granted to States under paragraph (1)(A) , the penalties imposed on States under paragraph (1)(B) , and the amounts that States being penalized under paragraph (1)(B) would have received if such States had in effect laws described in subparagraph
(A)of this paragraph . There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this subsection for each of the fiscal years 2020 through 2025, in addition to funds made available under section 508, such sums as may be necessary, but not to exceed the amount that is 5 percent of the total amount appropriated pursuant to such section for such fiscal year. .
