Sec. 3796. Payment of death benefits

-STATUTE-

(a) Amount; recipients

In any case in which the Bureau of Justice Assistance

(hereinafter in this subchapter referred to as the "Bureau")

determines, under regulations issued pursuant to this subchapter,

that a public safety officer has died as the direct and proximate

result of a personal injury sustained in the line of duty, the

Bureau shall pay a benefit of $250,000, adjusted in accordance with

subsection (h) of this section, as follows:

(1) if there is no surviving child of such officer, to the

surviving spouse of such officer;

(2) if there is a surviving child or children and a surviving

spouse, one-half to the surviving child or children of such

officer in equal shares and one-half to the surviving spouse;

(3) if there is no surviving spouse, to the child or children

of such officer in equal shares;

(4) if there is no surviving spouse or surviving child, to the

individual designated by such officer as beneficiary under such

officer's most recently executed life insurance policy, provided

that such individual survived such officer; or

(5) if none of the above, to the parent or parents of such

officer in equal shares.

(b) Benefits for permanent and total disability

In accordance with regulations issued pursuant to this

subchapter, in any case in which the Bureau determines that a

public safety officer has become permanently and totally disabled

as the direct result of a catastrophic injury sustained in the line

of duty, the Bureau shall pay, to the extent that appropriations

are provided, the same benefit in any year that is payable under

subsection (a) of this section in such year, adjusted in accordance

with subsection (h) of this section, to such officer: Provided,

That the total annual benefits paid under this subsection may not

exceed $5,000,000. For the purposes of making these benefit

payments, there are authorized to be appropriated for each fiscal

year such sums as may be necessary: Provided further, That these

benefit payments are subject to the availability of appropriations

and that each beneficiary's payment shall be reduced by a

proportionate share to the extent that sufficient funds are not

appropriated.

Whenever the Bureau determines upon showing of need and prior to

final action that the death of a public safety officer is one with

respect to which a benefit will probably be paid, the Bureau may

make an interim benefit payment not exceeding $3,000 to the

individual entitled to receive a benefit under subsection (a) of

this section.

(d) Deduction of interim payment

The amount of an interim payment under subsection (c) of this

section shall be deducted from the amount of any final benefit paid

to such individual.

(e) Repayment of interim payment; waiver

Where there is no final benefit paid, the recipient of any

interim payment under subsection (c) of this section shall be

liable for repayment of such amount. The Bureau may waive all or

part of such repayment, considering for this purpose the hardship

which would result from such repayment.

(f) Reductions from final benefit payment

The benefit payable under this subchapter shall be in addition to

any other benefit that may be due from any other source, except -

(1) payments authorized by section 12(k) of the Act of

September 1, 1916, as amended (D.C. Code, sec. 4-622); or

(2) benefits authorized by section 8191 of title 5. Such

beneficiaries shall only receive benefits under such section 8191

that are in excess of the benefits received under this

subchapter.

(g) Execution or attachment prohibited

No benefit paid under this subchapter shall be subject to

execution or attachment.

(h) Consumer Price Index adjustment

On October 1 of each fiscal year beginning after June 1, 1988,

the Bureau shall adjust the level of the benefit payable

immediately before such October 1 under subsection (a) of this

section, to reflect the annual percentage change in the Consumer

Price Index for All Urban Consumers, published by the Bureau of

Labor Statistics, occurring in the 1-year period ending on June 1

immediately preceding such October 1.

(i) Amount payable determined as of date of death

The amount payable under subsection (a) of this section with

respect to the death of a public safety officer shall be the amount

payable under subsection (a) of this section as of the date of

death of such officer.

(j) Limitations on benefits

(1) No benefit is payable under this subchapter with respect to

the death of a public safety officer if a benefit is paid under

this subchapter with respect to the disability of such officer.

(2) No benefit is payable under this subchapter with respect to

the disability of a public safety officer if a benefit is payable

under this subchapter with respect to the death of such public

safety officer.

General shall allocate -

(A) 0.50 percent for each State; and

(B) of the total funds remaining after the allocation under

subparagraph (A), to each State, an amount which bears the same

ratio to the amount of remaining funds described in this

subparagraph as the population of people under the age of 18

living in such State for the most recent calendar year in which

such data is available bears to the population of people under

the age of 18 of all the States for such fiscal year.

(2) Prohibition

No funds allocated to a State under this subsection or received

by a State for distribution under subsection (b) of this section

may be distributed by the Attorney General or by the State

involved for any program other than a program contained in an

approved application.

(b) Local distribution

Except as provided in paragraph (2), each State which receives

funds under subsection (a)(1) of this section in a fiscal year

shall distribute among units of local government, for the

purposes specified in section 3796ee of this title, not less than

(2) Waiver

If a State submits to the Attorney General an application for

waiver that demonstrates and certifies to the Attorney General

that -

year preceding the date in which an application is submitted

under this subchapter (the "State percentage") is more than 25

percent of the aggregate amount of juvenile justice

expenditures by the State and its eligible units of local

government; and

(B) the State has consulted with as many units of local

government in such State, or organizations representing such

units, as practicable regarding the State's calculation of

expenditures under subparagraph (A), the State's application

for waiver under this paragraph, and the State's proposed uses

of funds.

(3) Allocation

In making the distribution under paragraph (1), the State shall

allocate to such units of local government an amount which bears

the same ratio to the aggregate amount of such funds as -

(A) the sum of -

(I) three-quarters; multiplied by

(II) the average juvenile justice expenditure for such

unit of local government for the 3 most recent calendar

years for which such data is available; plus

(ii) the product of -

(I) one-quarter; multiplied by

(II) the average annual number of part 1 violent crimes

not available to such unit by operation of paragraph (4) shall be

available to other units of local government that are not

If the State has reason to believe that the reported rate of part

1 violent crimes or juvenile justice expenditures for a unit of

local government is insufficient or inaccurate, the State shall -

(1) investigate the methodology used by the unit to determine

the accuracy of the submitted data; and

(2) if necessary, use the best available comparable data

regarding the number of violent crimes or juvenile justice

expenditures for the relevant years for the unit of local

be expended by the State on services to units of local government

whose allotment is less than such amount in a manner consistent

with this subchapter.

(e) Direct grants to specially qualified units

(1) In general

If a State does not qualify or apply for funds reserved for

allocation under subsection (a) of this section by the

application deadline established by the Attorney General, the

Attorney General shall reserve not more than 75 percent of the

allocation that the State would have received under subsection

(a) of this section for such fiscal year to provide grants to

may be used to provide the non-Federal share of a matching

Funds available under this subchapter shall be awarded, without

regard to subsection (c) of this section, to each qualifying unit

Sec. 3796ll-3. James Guelff and Chris McCurley Body Armor Act of

2002

-STATUTE-

(a) Short title

This section may be cited as the "James Guelff and Chris McCurley

Body Armor Act of 2002".

(b) Findings

Congress finds that -

(1) nationally, police officers and ordinary citizens are

facing increased danger as criminals use more deadly weaponry,

body armor, and other sophisticated assault gear;

(2) crime at the local level is exacerbated by the interstate

movement of body armor and other assault gear;

(3) there is a traffic in body armor moving in or otherwise

affecting interstate commerce, and existing Federal controls over

such traffic do not adequately enable the States to control this

traffic within their own borders through the exercise of their

police power;

(4) recent incidents, such as the murder of San Francisco

Police Officer James Guelff by an assailant wearing 2 layers of

body armor, a 1997 bank shoot out in north Hollywood, California,

between police and 2 heavily armed suspects outfitted in body

armor, and the 1997 murder of Captain Chris McCurley of the

Etowah County, Alabama Drug Task Force by a drug dealer shielded

by protective body armor, demonstrate the serious threat to

community safety posed by criminals who wear body armor during

the commission of a violent crime;

(5) of the approximately 1,500 officers killed in the line of

duty since 1980, more than 30 percent could have been saved by

body armor, and the risk of dying from gunfire is 14 times higher

for an officer without a bulletproof vest;

(6) the Department of Justice has estimated that 25 percent of

State and local police are not issued body armor;

(7) the Federal Government is well-equipped to grant local

police departments access to body armor that is no longer needed

by Federal agencies; and

(8) Congress has the power, under the interstate commerce

clause and other provisions of the Constitution of the United

States, to enact legislation to regulate interstate commerce that

affects the integrity and safety of our communities.

In this section:

(1) Body armor

The term "body armor" means any product sold or offered for

sale, in interstate or foreign commerce, as personal protective

body covering intended to protect against gunfire, regardless of

whether the product is to be worn alone or is sold as a

complement to another product or garment.

(2) Law enforcement agency

The term "law enforcement agency" means an agency of the United

States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State,

authorized by law or by a government agency to engage in or

supervise the prevention, detection, investigation, or

prosecution of any violation of criminal law.

(3) Law enforcement officer

The term "law enforcement officer" means any officer, agent, or

employee of the United States, a State, or a political

subdivision of a State, authorized by law or by a government

agency to engage in or supervise the prevention, detection,

investigation, or prosecution of any violation of criminal law.

(d) Amendment of sentencing guidelines with respect to body armor

(1) In general

Pursuant to its authority under section 994(p) of title 28, the

United States Sentencing Commission shall review and amend the

Federal sentencing guidelines and the policy statements of the

Commission, as appropriate, to provide an appropriate sentencing

enhancement for any crime of violence (as defined in section 16

of title 18) or drug trafficking crime (as defined in section

924(c) of title 18) (including a crime of violence or drug

trafficking crime that provides for an enhanced punishment if

committed by the use of a deadly or dangerous weapon or device)

in which the defendant used body armor.

(2) Sense of Congress

It is the sense of Congress that any sentencing enhancement

under this subsection should be at least 2 levels.

(e) Omitted

(f) Donation of Federal surplus body armor

(1) Definitions

In this subsection, the terms "Federal agency" and "surplus

property" have the meanings given such terms under section 102 of

title 40.

(2) Donation of body armor

Notwithstanding sections 541-555 of title 40, the head of a

Federal agency may donate body armor directly to any State or

local law enforcement agency, if such body armor -

(A) is in serviceable condition;

(B) is surplus property; and

of Justice Standard 0101.03 (as in effect on November 2, 2002).

(3) Notice to Administrator

The head of a Federal agency who donates body armor under this

subsection shall submit to the Administrator of General Services

a written notice identifying the amount of body armor donated and

each State or local law enforcement agency that received the body

armor.

(4) Donation by certain officers

(A) Department of Justice

In the administration of this subsection with respect to the

Department of Justice, in addition to any other officer of the

Department of Justice designated by the Attorney General, the

following officers may act as the head of a Federal agency:

(i) The Administrator of the Drug Enforcement

Administration.

(ii) The Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

(iii) The Commissioner of the Immigration and

Naturalization Service.

(iv) The Director of the United States Marshals Service.

(B) Department of the Treasury

In the administration of this subsection with respect to the

Department of the Treasury, in addition to any other officer of

the Department of the Treasury designated by the Secretary of

the Treasury, the following officers may act as the head of a

Federal agency:

(i) The Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and

Firearms.

(ii) The Commissioner of Customs.

(iii) The Director of the United States Secret Service.

(5) No liability

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the United States

State that meets the requirements of section 3797k of this title

of the State bears to the population of all States.

(2) Discretionary allocation

Twenty-five percent of the amount made available to carry out

this subchapter in each fiscal year shall be allocated pursuant

to the Attorney General's discretion for competitive awards to

States and units of local government. In making awards under this

subchapter, the Attorney General shall consider the average

annual number of part 1 violent crimes reported by each State to

the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the 3 most recent

If the amounts available to carry out this subchapter in each

fiscal year are insufficient to pay in full the total payment

that any State is otherwise eligible to receive under paragraph

(3), then the Attorney General shall reduce payments under

paragraph (1) for such payment period to the extent of such

insufficiency. Reductions under the preceding sentence shall be

allocated among the States (other than States whose payment is

determined under paragraph (3)) in the same proportions as

amounts would be allocated under paragraph (1) without regard to

paragraph (3).

(b) State defined

In this section, the term "State" means each of the several

States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,

the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of
