The Attorney General is authorized to make grants to units of local government in States that do not have in place a law that is substantially similar to section 2 of this Act and section 1123 of title 18, United States Code, and which State did not receive funds under subpart 1 of part E of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 ( 34 U.S.C. 10151 et seq.) pursuant to section 3, if the law enforcement agency of that unit of local government has in place a policy related to the use of force by law enforcement officers that is consistent with section 2 of this Act.
A unit of local government seeking a grant under this section may submit to the Attorney General an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Attorney General may reasonably require. The amount of a grant under this section shall be an amount which is equal to the amount the unit of local government would otherwise have received under subpart 1 of part E of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 ( 34 U.S.C. 10151 et seq.), if the State in which the unit of local government is located had received funds under such program.
A grant under this section may be used for the purposes described in section 501 of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 ( 34 U.S.C. 10152 ). There is authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this section for each fiscal year, beginning 2020 through 2024.
