There is authorized to be appropriated not to exceed $10,000,000,
for the Secretary of Transportation (referred to in this section as
the "Secretary") to make capital grants for the prevention of crime
and to increase security in existing and future public
transportation systems. None of the provisions of this Act may be

body other than the grant applicant.
(b) Grants for lighting, camera surveillance, and security phones

(2) From the sums authorized under this section, at least 75
percent shall be expended on projects of the type described in
subsection (b)(1)(A) and (B) of this section.
(c) Reporting
All grants under this section are contingent upon the filing of a
report with the Secretary and the Department of Justice, Office of
Victims of Crime, showing crime rates in or adjacent to public
transportation before, and for a 1-year period after, the capital
improvement. Statistics shall be compiled on the basis of the type
of crime, sex, race, ethnicity, language, and relationship of
victim to the offender.
(d) Increased Federal share
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Federal share
under this section for each capital improvement project that
enhances the safety and security of public transportation systems
and that is not required by law (including any other provision of
this Act) shall be 90 percent of the net project cost of the
project.
(e) Special grants for projects to study increasing security for
women
From the sums authorized under this section, the Secretary shall
provide grants and loans for the purpose of studying ways to reduce
violent crimes against women in public transit through better
design or operation of public transit systems.

Sec. 13942. Confidentiality of communications between sexual
assault or domestic violence victims and their counselors
-STATUTE-
(a) Study and development of model legislation
The Attorney General shall -
(1) study and evaluate the manner in which the States have
taken measures to protect the confidentiality of communications
between sexual assault or domestic violence victims and their
therapists or trained counselors;
(2) develop model legislation that will provide the maximum
protection possible for the confidentiality of such
communications, within any applicable constitutional limits,
taking into account the following factors:
(A) the danger that counseling programs for victims of sexual
assault and domestic violence will be unable to achieve their
goal of helping victims recover from the trauma associated with
these crimes if there is no assurance that the records of the
counseling sessions will be kept confidential;
(B) consideration of the appropriateness of an absolute
privilege for communications between victims of sexual assault
or domestic violence and their therapists or trained
counselors, in light of the likelihood that such an absolute
privilege will provide the maximum guarantee of confidentiality
but also in light of the possibility that such an absolute
privilege may be held to violate the rights of criminal
defendants under the Federal or State constitutions by denying
them the opportunity to obtain exculpatory evidence and present
it at trial; and
(C) consideration of what limitations on the disclosure of
confidential communications between victims of these crimes and
their counselors, short of an absolute privilege, are most
likely to ensure that the counseling programs will not be
undermined, and specifically whether no such disclosure should
be allowed unless, at a minimum, there has been a
particularized showing by a criminal defendant of a compelling
need for records of such communications, and adequate
procedural safeguards are in place to prevent unnecessary or
damaging disclosures; and
(3) prepare and disseminate to State authorities the findings
made and model legislation developed as a result of the study and
evaluation.
(b) Report and recommendations
Not later than the date that is 1 year after September 13, 1994,
the Attorney General shall report to the Congress -
(1) the findings of the study and the model legislation
required by this section; and
(2) recommendations based on the findings on the need for and
appropriateness of further action by the Federal Government.
(c) Review of Federal evidentiary rules
The Judicial Conference of the United States shall evaluate and
report to Congress its views on whether the Federal Rules of
Evidence should be amended, and if so, how they should be amended,
to guarantee that the confidentiality of communications between
sexual assault victims and their therapists or trained counselors
will be adequately protected in Federal court proceedings.

(a) Purpose
Pursuant to the affirmative power of Congress to enact this part
under section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, as
well as under section 8 of Article I of the Constitution, it is the
purpose of this part to protect the civil rights of victims of
gender motivated violence and to promote public safety, health, and
activities affecting interstate commerce by establishing a Federal
civil rights cause of action for victims of crimes of violence
motivated by gender.
(b) Right to be free from crimes of violence
All persons within the United States shall have the right to be
free from crimes of violence motivated by gender (as defined in
subsection (d) of this section).
(c) Cause of action
A person (including a person who acts under color of any statute,
ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage of any State) who commits a
crime of violence motivated by gender and thus deprives another of
the right declared in subsection (b) of this section shall be
liable to the party injured, in an action for the recovery of
compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive and declaratory
relief, and such other relief as a court may deem appropriate.
(d) Definitions
For purposes of this section -
(1) the term "crime of violence motivated by gender" means a
crime of violence committed because of gender or on the basis of
gender, and due, at least in part, to an animus based on the
victim's gender; and
(2) the term "crime of violence" means - (!1)
(A) an act or series of acts that would constitute a felony
against the person or that would constitute a felony against
property if the conduct presents a serious risk of physical
injury to another, and that would come within the meaning of
State or Federal offenses described in section 16 of title 18,
whether or not those acts have actually resulted in criminal
charges, prosecution, or conviction and whether or not those
acts were committed in the special maritime, territorial, or
prison jurisdiction of the United States; and
(B) includes an act or series of acts that would constitute a
felony described in subparagraph (A) but for the relationship
between the person who takes such action and the individual
against whom such action is taken.
(e) Limitation and procedures
(1) Limitation
Nothing in this section entitles a person to a cause of action
under subsection (c) of this section for random acts of violence
unrelated to gender or for acts that cannot be demonstrated, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to be motivated by gender (within
the meaning of subsection (d) of this section).
(2) No prior criminal action
Nothing in this section requires a prior criminal complaint,
prosecution, or conviction to establish the elements of a cause
of action under subsection (c) of this section.
(3) Concurrent jurisdiction
The Federal and State courts shall have concurrent jurisdiction
over actions brought pursuant to this part.
(4) Supplemental jurisdiction
Neither section 1367 of title 28 nor subsection (c) of this
section shall be construed, by reason of a claim arising under
such subsection, to confer on the courts of the United States
jurisdiction over any State law claim seeking the establishment
of a divorce, alimony, equitable distribution of marital
property, or child custody decree.

-STATUTE-
(a) Definitions
In this section -
"major violent crime or drug-related emergency" means an
occasion or instance in which violent crime, drug smuggling, drug

determined by the President, that Federal assistance is needed to
supplement State and local efforts and capabilities to save
lives, and to protect property and public health and safety.
"State" means a State, the District of Columbia, the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands,
American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
(b) Declaration of violent crime and drug emergency areas
If a major violent crime or drug-related emergency exists
throughout a State or a part of a State, the President may declare
the State or part of a State to be a violent crime or drug
emergency area and may take appropriate actions authorized by this
section.
(c) Procedure
(1) In general
A request for a declaration designating an area to be a violent

more cities, counties, States, or the District of Columbia may
submit a joint request for designation as a major violent crime
or drug emergency area under this subsection.
(2) Finding
A request made under paragraph (1) shall be based on a written
finding that the major violent crime or drug-related emergency is
of such severity and magnitude that Federal assistance is
necessary to ensure an effective response to save lives and to
protect property and public health and safety.
(d) Irrelevancy of population density
The President shall not limit declarations made under this
section to highly populated centers of violent crime or drug
trafficking, drug smuggling, or drug use, but shall also consider
applications from governments of less populated areas where the
magnitude and severity of such activities is beyond the capability
of the State or local government to respond.
(e) Requirements
As part of a request for a declaration under this section, and as
a prerequisite to Federal violent crime or drug emergency
assistance under this section, the chief executive officer of a
State or local government shall -
(1) take appropriate action under State or local law and
furnish information on the nature and amount of State and local
resources that have been or will be committed to alleviating the
major violent crime- or drug-related emergency;
(2) submit a detailed plan outlining that government's short-
and long-term plans to respond to the violent crime or drug
emergency, specifying the types and levels of Federal assistance
requested and including explicit goals (including quantitative
goals) and timetables; and
(3) specify how Federal assistance provided under this section
is intended to achieve those goals.
(f) Review period
The Attorney General shall review a request submitted pursuant to
this section, and the President shall decide whether to declare a
violent crime or drug emergency area, within 30 days after
receiving the request.
(g) Federal assistance
The President may -
(1) direct any Federal agency, with or without reimbursement,
to utilize its authorities and the resources granted to it under
Federal law (including personnel, equipment, supplies,
facilities, financial assistance, and managerial, technical, and
advisory services) in support of State and local assistance
efforts; and
(2) provide technical and advisory assistance, including
communications support and law enforcement-related intelligence
information.
(h) Duration of Federal assistance
(1) In general
Federal assistance under this section shall not be provided to
a violent crime or drug emergency area for more than 1 year.
(2) Extension
The chief executive officer of a jurisdiction may apply to the
President for an extension of assistance beyond 1 year. The
President may extend the provision of Federal assistance for not
more than an additional 180 days.
(i) Regulations
Not later than 120 days after September 13, 1994, the Attorney
General shall issue regulations to implement this section.
(j) No effect on existing authority
Nothing in this section shall diminish or detract from existing
authority possessed by the President or Attorney General.

Sec. 14097. Police Corps training
-STATUTE-
(a) In general
(1) The Director shall establish programs of training for Police
Corps participants. Such programs may be carried out at up to 3
training centers established for this purpose and administered by
the Director, or by contracting with existing State training
facilities. The Director shall contract with a State training
facility upon request of such facility if the Director determines

institutions of learning, and government agencies (including State
and local police forces) to obtain the services of persons
qualified to participate in and contribute to the training process.
(3) The Director may enter into agreements with agencies of the
Federal Government to utilize on a reimbursable basis space in
Federal buildings and other resources.
(4) The Director may authorize such expenditures as are necessary

24 weeks, but no less than 16 weeks, of training at a training
center. The Director may approve training conducted in not more
than 3 separate sessions.
(c) Further training
The Police Corps training authorized in this section is intended
to serve as basic law enforcement training but not to exclude
further training of participants by the State and local authorities
to which they will be assigned. Each State plan approved by the
Director under section 14099 (!1) of this title shall include
assurances that following completion of a participant's course of
education each participant shall receive appropriate additional
training by the State or local authority to which the participant
is assigned. The time spent by a participant in such additional
training, but not the time spent in Police Corps training, shall be
counted toward fulfillment of the participant's 4-year service
obligation.
(d) Course of training
The training sessions at training centers established under this
section shall be designed to provide basic law enforcement
training, including vigorous physical and mental training to teach
participants self-discipline and organizational loyalty and to
impart knowledge and understanding of legal processes and law
enforcement.
(e) Evaluation of participants
A participant shall be evaluated during training for mental,
physical, and emotional fitness, and shall be required to meet
performance standards prescribed by the Director at the conclusion
of each training session in order to remain in the Police Corps
program.

The Director shall pay participants in training sessions a
stipend of $400 a week during training.

"section 200207", meaning section 200207 of Pub. L. 103-322, to
reflect the probable intent of Congress, because section 200203 of
Pub. L. 103-322, which is classified to section 14112 of this

nominations proposed by the head of the National Academy of
Sciences and professional societies of crime laboratory officials.
(B) The advisory board shall include as members scientists from
State, local, and private forensic laboratories, molecular
geneticists and population geneticists not affiliated with a
forensic laboratory, and a representative from the National
Institute of Standards and Technology.
(C) The advisory board shall develop, and if appropriate,
periodically revise, recommended standards for quality assurance,
including standards for testing the proficiency of forensic
laboratories, and forensic analysts, in conducting analyses of DNA.
(2) The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, after
taking into consideration such recommended standards, shall issue
(and revise from time to time) standards for quality assurance,
including standards for testing the proficiency of forensic
laboratories, and forensic analysts, in conducting analyses of DNA.
(3) The standards described in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall
specify criteria for quality assurance and proficiency tests to be
applied to the various types of DNA analyses used by forensic
laboratories. The standards shall also include a system for grading
proficiency testing performance to determine whether a laboratory
is performing acceptably.
(4) Until such time as the advisory board has made
recommendations to the Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Director has acted upon those
recommendations, the quality assurance guidelines adopted by the
technical working group on DNA analysis methods shall be deemed the
Director's standards for purposes of this section.
(b) Administration of advisory board
(1) For administrative purposes, the advisory board appointed
under subsection (a) of this section shall be considered an
advisory board to the Director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.

SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE OBLIGATION OF GRANTEE STATES TO
ENSURE ACCESS TO POST-CONVICTION DNA TESTING AND COMPETENT COUNSEL
IN CAPITAL CASES
Pub. L. 106-561, Sec. 4, Dec. 21, 2000, 114 Stat. 2791, provided
that:
"(a) Findings. - Congress finds that -
"(1) over the past decade, deoxyribonucleic acid testing
(referred to in this section as 'DNA testing') has emerged as the
most reliable forensic technique for identifying criminals when
biological material is left at a crime scene;
"(2) because of its scientific precision, DNA testing can, in
some cases, conclusively establish the guilt or innocence of a
criminal defendant;
"(3) in other cases, DNA testing may not conclusively establish
guilt or innocence, but may have significant probative value to a
finder of fact;
"(4) DNA testing was not widely available in cases tried prior
to 1994;
"(5) new forensic DNA testing procedures have made it possible
to get results from minute samples that could not previously be
tested, and to obtain more informative and accurate results than
earlier forms of forensic DNA testing could produce, resulting in
some cases of convicted inmates being exonerated by new DNA tests
after earlier tests had failed to produce definitive results;
"(6) DNA testing can and has resulted in the post-conviction
exoneration of more than 75 innocent men and women, including
some under sentence of death;
"(7) in more than a dozen cases, post-conviction DNA testing
that has exonerated an innocent person has also enhanced public
safety by providing evidence that led to the apprehension of the
actual perpetrator;
"(8) experience has shown that it is not unduly burdensome to
make DNA testing available to inmates in appropriate cases;
"(9) under current Federal and State law, it is difficult to
obtain post-conviction DNA testing because of time limits on
introducing newly discovered evidence;
"(10) the National Commission on the Future of DNA Evidence, a
Federal panel established by the Department of Justice and
comprised of law enforcement, judicial, and scientific experts,
has urged that post-conviction DNA testing be permitted in the
relatively small number of cases in which it is appropriate,
notwithstanding procedural rules that could be invoked to
preclude such testing, and notwithstanding the inability of an
inmate to pay for the testing;
"(11) only a few States have adopted post-conviction DNA
testing procedures;
"(12) States have received millions of dollars in DNA-related
grants, and more funding is needed to improve State forensic
facilities and to reduce the nationwide backlog of DNA samples
from convicted offenders and crime scenes that need to be tested
or retested using upgraded methods;
"(13) States that accept such financial assistance should not
deny the promise of truth and justice for both sides of our
adversarial system that DNA testing offers;
"(14) post-conviction DNA testing and other post-conviction
investigative techniques have shown that innocent people have
been sentenced to death in this country;
"(15) a constitutional error in capital cases is incompetent
defense lawyers who fail to present important evidence that the
defendant may have been innocent or does not deserve to be
sentenced to death; and
"(16) providing quality representation to defendants facing
loss of liberty or life is essential to fundamental due process
and the speedy final resolution of judicial proceedings.
"(b) Sense of Congress. - It is the sense of Congress that -
"(1) Congress should condition forensic science-related grants
to a State or State forensic facility on the State's agreement to
ensure post-conviction DNA testing in appropriate cases; and
"(2) Congress should work with the States to improve the
quality of legal representation in capital cases through the
establishment of standards that will assure the timely
appointment of competent counsel with adequate resources to
represent defendants in capital cases at each stage of the
proceedings."
Pub. L. 106-546, Sec. 11, Dec. 19, 2000, 114 Stat. 2735, enacted
provisions substantially identical to those enacted by Pub. L.
106-561, Sec. 4, set out above.

(a) In general
Not later than 180 days after September 13, 1994, the Attorney
General shall develop, in cooperation with the States, a national
voluntary motor vehicle theft prevention program (in this section
referred to as the "program") under which -
(1) the owner of a motor vehicle may voluntarily sign a consent
form with a participating State or locality in which the motor
vehicle owner -
(A) states that the vehicle is not normally operated under
certain specified conditions; and
(B) agrees to -
(i) display program decals or devices on the owner's
vehicle; and
(ii) permit law enforcement officials in any State to stop
the motor vehicle and take reasonable steps to determine
whether the vehicle is being operated by or with the
permission of the owner, if the vehicle is being operated
under the specified conditions; and
(2) participating States and localities authorize law
enforcement officials in the State or locality to stop motor
vehicles displaying program decals or devices under specified
conditions and take reasonable steps to determine whether the
vehicle is being operated by or with the permission of the owner.
(b) Uniform decal or device designs
(1) In general
The motor vehicle theft prevention program developed pursuant
to this section shall include a uniform design or designs for
decals or other devices to be displayed by motor vehicles
participating in the program.

The uniform design shall -
(A) be highly visible; and
(B) explicitly state that the motor vehicle to which it is

additional grounds for establishing a reasonable suspicion that
the vehicle is being operated unlawfully.
(c) Voluntary consent form
The voluntary consent form used to enroll in the program shall -
(1) clearly state that participation in the program is
voluntary;
(2) clearly explain that participation in the program means
that, if the participating vehicle is being operated under the
specified conditions, law enforcement officials may stop the
vehicle and take reasonable steps to determine whether it is
being operated by or with the consent of the owner, even if the
law enforcement officials have no other basis for believing that
the vehicle is being operated unlawfully;
(3) include an express statement that the vehicle is not
normally operated under the specified conditions and that the
operation of the vehicle under those conditions would provide
sufficient grounds for a prudent law enforcement officer to
reasonably believe that the vehicle was not being operated by or
with the consent of the owner; and
(4) include any additional information that the Attorney
General may reasonably require.
(d) Specified conditions under which stops may be authorized
(1) In general

(2) More than one set of conditions
The Attorney General may establish more than one set of
conditions under which participating motor vehicles may be
stopped. If more than one set of conditions is established, a
separate consent form and a separate design for program decals or
devices shall be established for each set of conditions. The
Attorney General may choose to satisfy the requirement of a
separate design for program decals or devices under this
paragraph by the use of a design color that is clearly
distinguishable from other design colors.
(3) No new conditions without consent
After the program has begun, the conditions under which a
vehicle may be stopped if affixed with a certain decal or device
design may not be expanded without the consent of the owner.
(4) Limited participation by States and localities
A State or locality need not authorize the stopping of motor
vehicles under all sets of conditions specified under the program
in order to participate in the program.
(e) Motor vehicles for hire
(1) Notification to lessees
Any person who is in the business of renting or leasing motor
vehicles and who rents or leases a motor vehicle on which a
program decal or device is affixed shall, prior to transferring
possession of the vehicle, notify the person to whom the motor
vehicle is rented or leased about the program.
(2) Type of notice
The notice required by this subsection shall -
(A) be in writing;
(B) be in a prominent format to be determined by the Attorney
General; and
(C) explain the possibility that if the motor vehicle is

unlawfully.
(3) Fine for failure to provide notice
Failure to provide proper notice under this subsection shall be
punishable by a fine not to exceed $5,000.
(f) Notification of police
