To assist States in meeting the requirements of section 434, the Secretary shall make allotments to States from the amounts appropriated under section 436 and not reserved under paragraph (5). In any case in which— the total amount appropriated under section 436 for a fiscal year is not less than $20,000,000, the allotment under paragraph
(1)for such fiscal year— to each of American Samoa, Guam, the United States Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands may not be less than $100,000; and to any State not described in clause
(i)may not be less than $200,000; and the total amount appropriated under section 436 for a fiscal year is less than $20,000,000, the allotment under paragraph
(1)for such fiscal year— to each of American Samoa, Guam, the United States Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands may not be less than $50,000; and to any State not described in clause
(i)may not be less than $150,000. Notwithstanding paragraphs
(1)and (2), if the aggregate of the amounts to be allotted to the States pursuant to such paragraphs for any fiscal year exceeds the total amount appropriated for such allotments under section 436 for such fiscal year, the amount to be allotted to each State for such fiscal year shall be proportionately reduced. If the sum appropriated under section 436 and not reserved under paragraph
(5)for any fiscal year exceeds the aggregate of the minimum allotments for all States under this subsection for that fiscal year, such excess amount shall be allotted among the States, including American Samoa, Guam, the United States Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, so as to increase proportionately the minimum allotment for each such State. In any case in which the total amount appropriated under section 436 for a fiscal year is more than $24,500,000, the Secretary shall— use not more than 2 percent of the amount appropriated to provide technical assistance to eligible systems with respect to activities carried out under this subtitle (consistent with requests by such systems for such assistance for the year); and provide a grant in accordance with section 434(d) and in an amount described in paragraph (2)(A)(i), to an American Indian consortium to provide protection and advocacy services. If the Secretary determines that an amount of an allotment to a State for a period (of a fiscal year or longer) will not be required by the State during the period for the purpose for which the allotment was made, the Secretary shall reallot the amount. The Secretary may make such a reallotment from time to time, on such date as the Secretary may fix, but not earlier than 30 days after the Secretary has published notice of the intention of the Secretary to make the reallotment in the Federal Register. The Secretary shall reallot the amount to other States with respect to which the Secretary has not made that determination. The Secretary shall reallot the amount in proportion to the original allotments of the other States for such fiscal year, but shall reduce such proportionate amount for any of the other States to the extent the proportionate amount exceeds the sum that the Secretary estimates the State needs and will be able to use during such period. The Secretary shall similarly reallot the total of the reductions among the States whose proportionate amounts were not so reduced. Any amount reallotted to a State under this subsection for a fiscal year shall be deemed to be a part of the allotment of the State under paragraph
(1)for such fiscal year. The Secretary shall pay directly to each State that has a system in the State that complies with the provisions of this subtitle the amount of the allotment made for the State under this section, unless the system specifies otherwise, to be used in support of the system. Any amount paid to a State under this subtitle for a fiscal year and remaining unobligated at the end of such year shall remain available to such State for the next fiscal year, for the purposes for which such amount was paid.
