+
+(2) Office of Justice Programs In implementing the grant program under this subsection, the Office of Justice Programs shall work closely with grantees to ensure that the concerns and needs of all affected parties, including community groups and schools, colleges, and universities, are addressed through the local infrastructure developed under the grants.

+
+(iv) certify that any Federal funds received under this subsection will be used to supplement, not supplant, non-Federal funds that would otherwise be available for activities funded under this subsection.
+
+(4) Deadline An application for a grant under this subsection shall be approved or denied by the Attorney General not later than 180 business days after the date on which the Attorney General receives the application.

+# 34 U.S.C. § 30507 - Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act
+
+## Text
+
+(a) Short title This section may be cited as the “Khalid Jabara and Heather Heyer National Opposition to Hate, Assault, and Threats to Equality Act of 2021” or the “Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act”.
+
+(b) Findings Congress finds the following:
+
+(1) The incidence of violence known as hate crimes, or crimes motivated by bias, poses a serious national problem.
+
+(2) According to data obtained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the incidence of such violence increased in 2019, the most recent year for which data is available.
+
+(3) In 1990, Congress enacted the Hate Crime Statistics Act (Public Law 101–275; 28 U.S.C. 534 note) 11 See References in Text note below. to provide the Federal Government, law enforcement agencies, and the public with data regarding the incidence of hate crime. The Hate Crime Statistics Act and the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act (division E of Public Law 111–84; 123 Stat. 2835) 1 have enabled Federal authorities to understand and, where appropriate, investigate and prosecute hate crimes.
+
+(4) A more complete understanding of the national problem posed by hate crime is in the public interest and supports the Federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence referenced in section 249(b)(1)(C) of title 18.
+
+(5) However, a complete understanding of the national problem posed by hate crimes is hindered by incomplete data from Federal, State, and local jurisdictions through the Uniform Crime Reports program authorized under section 534 of title 28 and administered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
+
+(6) Multiple factors contribute to the provision of inaccurate and incomplete data regarding the incidence of hate crime through the Uniform Crime Reports program. A significant contributing factor is the quality and quantity of training that State and local law enforcement agencies receive on the identification and reporting of suspected bias-motivated crimes.
+
+(7) The problem of crimes motivated by bias is sufficiently serious, widespread, and interstate in nature as to warrant Federal financial assistance to States and local jurisdictions.
+
+(8) Federal financial assistance with regard to certain violent crimes motivated by bias enables Federal, State, and local authorities to work together as partners in the investigation and prosecution of such crimes.
+
+(c) Definitions In this section:
+
+(1) Hate crime The term “hate crime” means an act described in section 245, 247, or 249 of title 18 or in section 3631 of title 42.
+
+(2) Priority agency The term “priority agency” means—
+
+(A) a law enforcement agency of a unit of local government that serves a population of not less than 100,000, as computed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; or
+
+(B) a law enforcement agency of a unit of local government that—
+
+(i) serves a population of not less than 50,000 and less than 100,000, as computed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and
+
+(ii) has reported no hate crimes through the Uniform Crime Reports program in each of the 3 most recent calendar years for which such data is available.
+
+(3) State The term “State” has the meaning given the term in section 10251 of this title.
+
+(4) Uniform Crime Reports The term “Uniform Crime Reports” means the reports authorized under section 534 of title 28 and administered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that compile nationwide criminal statistics for use—
+
+(A) in law enforcement administration, operation, and management; and
+
+(B) to assess the nature and type of crime in the United States.
+
+(5) Unit of local government The term “unit of local government” has the meaning given the term in section 10251 of this title.
+
+(d) Reporting of hate crimes (1) Implementation grants (A) In general The Attorney General may make grants to States and units of local government to assist the State or unit of local government in implementing the National Incident-Based Reporting System, including to train employees in identifying and classifying hate crimes in the National Incident-Based Reporting System.
+
+(B) Priority In making grants under subparagraph (A), the Attorney General shall give priority to States and units of local government that develop and implement the programs and activities described in subsection (f)(2)(A).
+
+(2) Reporting (A) Compliance (i) In general Except as provided in clause (ii), in each fiscal year beginning after the date that is 3 years after the date on which a State or unit of local government first receives a grant under paragraph (1), the State or unit of local government shall provide to the Attorney General, through the Uniform Crime Reporting system, information pertaining to hate crimes committed in that jurisdiction during the preceding fiscal year.
+
+(ii) Extensions; waiver The Attorney General—
+
+(I) may provide a 120-day extension to a State or unit of local government that is making good faith efforts to comply with clause (i); and
+
