Crime Control Act of 1973

Summary

Extends the programs of the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration through fiscal years 1974-75. Includes the improvement of criminal justice as one of the purposes of the Administration under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. Replaces the two Associate Administrators of the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration with a Deputy Administrator who shall perform the functions of the Administrator in his absence. Requires State planning agencies seeking grants under the Law Enforcement Assistance title to include representatives of community organizations, and to hold each of its meetings open to the public. Directs the Administration to allocate a flat grant of $200,000 to each State annually for planning grants, and then allocate the remainder of its funds for this purpose by population. Increases to 90 percent (previously 75 percent) the Federal share of grants for law enforcement and criminal justice purposes. Requires State plans seeking such grants to: (1) provide for necessary fund accounting and evaluation procedures; (2) submit such reports as the National Institute for Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice may require; (3) offer funding incentives to units of local governments that coordinate law enforcement and criminal justice functions with other such units within the State; and (4) establish statewide priorities for the improvement and coordination of all aspects of law enforcement and criminal justice. States that each State plan submitted for approval under this section shall be either approved or disapproved within 90 days of submission, and if disapproved shall be accompanied by an explanation of the requirements it fails to comply with. Authorizes the National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice to assist in conducting, upon request, programs for the training of State and local law enforcement and criminal justice personnel. States that the Institute shall serve as a national clearinghouse for law enforcement and criminal justice information, and shall report annually to the President, the Congress, and State and local governments on its research and development activities. Increases the amount on loans and grants by the Institute for educational programs on law enforcement and criminal justice. Stipulates that no person in any State shall on the ground of race national origin, or sex be excluded from participation in any program or activity funded under this Law Enforcement Assistance title. Authorizes the appropriation of such sums as necessary for this title, but states that such sums in the aggregate shall not exceed $1,000,000,000 annually for fiscal year 1974-75. Directs that any funds made available under this title prior to July 1, 1973, may be used to provide up to 90 percent of the cost of any program or project. (Amends 42 U.S.C. 3701-95)
