Important Notice:
The Department of Justice’s grant-making components issued revised guidance on April 22, 2021 regarding conditions on certain Department grants. Consistent with Executive Order 13993, an April 14, 2021 Attorney General memorandum, and relevant grant-making statutes, the Department informed grant recipients and applicants that they will continue receiving certain Department grants without making certifications related to 8 U.S.C. § 1373 and associated matters as a precondition. The Department will also cease giving priority consideration to grant applicants that accept conditions similar to those requirements.
