Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior, in coordination with the Attorney General (acting through the Director of the Bureau of Prisons), shall enter into one or more memorandums of understanding with appropriate officials of the governments of each of the several States, the District of Colombia, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands, to ensure that any individual of a Freely Associated State who is lawfully present in the United States pursuant to a provision of a Compact of Free Association and is convicted of a felony is imprisoned solely in a Federal correctional facility.
Such memorandums of understanding shall also provide for the reimbursement of the costs of any pre-conviction incarceration of such individual in a State, territorial, or local correctional facility from the funds of the Bureau of Prisons. During any period in which an applicable memorandum of understanding is not in effect with respect to an individual described in paragraph (1), the Director of the Bureau of Prisons shall reimburse, from the funds of the Bureau of Prisons, the costs of incarcerating such individual at a non-Federal correctional facility.
