SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
GENERAL GRANT
FEDERAL FUNDS
13. COMPLIANCE WITH OJP TRAINING GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Any training or training materials that the Grantee, or any Subgrantee at any tier, develops or delivers
with OJP award funds must adhere to the OJP Training Guiding Principles for Grantees and
Subgrantees, available at httos://oio.Qov/funding/ofptrainingguidingprinciples.htm.
14. COMPUTER NETWORKS
Grantee understands and agrees that it cannot use any federal funds to maintain or establish a
computer network unless such network blocks the viewing, downloading, and exchanging of
pornography.
15. COMPLYING WITH THE SAFE STREETS ACT
An organization that is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of
the Safe Streets Act, must meet two obligations: (1) complying with the federal regulation pertaining to
the development of an EEOP (see 28 C.F.R. pt. 42, subpt. E) and (2) submitting to the OCR findings
of discrimination (see 28 C.F.R. §§ 42.204(c), .205(c)(5)).
16. DEMOGRAPHIC DATA
The recipient assures that its subrecipients will collect and maintain information on race, sex, national
origin, age, and disability of victims receiving assistance, where such information is voluntarilyfumished
by the victim.
Grantees submit this information to COMMERCE via InfoNet. This is specific to direct victim services.
17. DISCRIMINATION FINDINGS
The recipient assures that in the event that a Federal or State court or Federal or State administrative
agency makes a finding of discrimination after a due process hearing on the ground of race, religion,
national origin, sex, or disability against a recipient of victim assistance formula funds under this award,
the recipient will forward a copy of the findings to the Office for Civil Rights of OJP.
18. EFFECT OF FAILURE TO ADDRESS AUDIT ISSUES
The recipient understands and agrees that the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or OVW, as appropriate)
and COMMERCE may withhold award funds, or may impose other related requirements, if (as
determined by the DOJ awarding agency) the recipient does not satisfactorily and promptly address
outstanding issues from audits required by the Part 200 Uniform Requirements (or by the terms of this
award), or other outstanding issues that arise in connection with audits, investigations, or reviews of
DOJ awards.
19. ENCOURAGEMENT OF POLICIES TO BAN TEXT MESSAGING WHILE DRIVING
Pursuant to Executive Order 13513, "Federal Leadership on Reducing Text Messaging While Driving,"
74 Fed. Reg. 51225 (October 1, 2009), DOJ encourages recipients and subrecipients ("subgrantees")
to adopt and enforce policies banning employees from text messaging while driving any vehicle during
the course of performing work funded by this award, and to establish workplace safety policies and
conduct education, awareness, and other outreach to decrease crashes caused by distracted drivers.
20. ENFORCING CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS
All recipients of federal financial assistance, regardless of the particular funding source, the amount of
the grant award, or the number of employees in the workforce, are subject to prohibitions against
unlawful discrimination. Accordingly, the OCR investigates recipients that are the subject of
discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition, based on regulatory criteria,
the OCR selects a number of recipients each year for compliance reviews, audits that require recipients
SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
GENERAL GRANT
FEDERAL FUNDS
to submit data showing that they are providing services equitably to all segments of their service
population and that their employment practices meet equal opportunity standards.
21. ENSURING ACCESS TO FEDERALLY ASSISTED PROGRAMS
Federal laws that apply to recipients of financial assistance from the DOJ prohibit discrimination on the
basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, or disability in funded programs or activities, not only
in employment but also in the delivery of services or benefits. A federal law also prohibits recipients
from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits.
In March of 2013, President Obama signed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013.
The statute amends the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) by including a nondiscrimination
grant condition that prohibits discrimination based on actual or perceived race, color, national origin,
religion, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The new nondiscrimination grant
condition applies to certain programs funded after October 1, 2013. The OCR and the OVW have
developed answers to some frequently asked questions about this provision to assist recipients of
VAWA funds to understand their obligations. The Frequently Asked Questions are available at
https://oli).qov/about/ocr/vawafags.htm.
22. ENSURING THE COMPLIANCE OF SUBRECIPIENTS
As applicable, the State Administering Agency (COMMERCE) must have standard assurances to notify
subrecipients (Grantees) of their civil rights obligations, written procedures to address discrimination
complaints filed against subrecipients, methods to monitor subrecipients' (Grantees) compliance with
civil rights requirements, and a program to train subrecipients (Grantees) on applicable civil rights laws.
In addition, COMMERCE must submit to the OCR every three years written Methods of Administration
(MOA) that summarize the policies and procedures that they have implemented to ensure the civil rights
compliance of subrecipients (Grantees). For more information on the MOA requirement, see
htti)s•//oio gov/funding/Explore/StateMethodsAdmin-FY2017update htm.
If the OCR can assist you in any way in fulfilling your organization's civil rights responsibilities as a
recipient of federal financial assistance, please contact us.
23. EXAMINATION OF RECORDS
The Grantee authorizes Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and/or the Office of the Chief Financial Officer
(OCFO), and its representatives, access to and the right to examine all records, books, paper or
documents related to the VOCA grant.
The State will further ensure that all VOCA subgrantees will authorize representatives of OVC and
OCFO access to and the right to examine all records, books, paper or documents related to the VOCA
grant.
24. FFATA REPORTING: SUBAWARDS AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

37. PARTNERSHIPS WITH FAITH -BASED AND OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS:
ENSURING EQUAL TREATMENT OF FAITH -BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND SAFEGUARDING
CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTIONS RELATED TO RELIGION
The DOJ regulation, Partnerships with Faith -Based and Other Neighborhood Organizations, 28 C.F.R.
pt. 38, updated in April 2016, prohibits all recipient organizations, whether they are law enforcement
agencies, governmental agencies, educational institutions, houses of worship, or faith -based
organizations, from using financial assistance from the DOJ to fund explicitly religious activities.
Explicitly religious activities include worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. While funded
organizations may engage in non -funded explicitly religious activities (e.g., prayer), they must hold them
separately from the activities funded by the DOJ, and recipients cannot compel beneficiaries to
participate in them. The regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded
by the DOJ are not permitted to discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a beneficiarys
religion, religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or a refusal to attend or participate in a
religious practice. Funded faith -based organizations must also provide written notice to beneficiaries,
advising them that if they should object to the religious character of the funded faith based organization,
the funded faith -based organization will take reasonable steps to refer the beneficiary to an alternative
service provider. For more information on the regulation, please see the OCR's website at
https:go'D.gov/about/ocr/partnerships.htm.
State Administering Agencies (SAAB) and faith -based organizations should also note that the Omnibus
Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (Safe Streets Act) of 1968, as amended, 34 U.S.C. § 10228(c); the
Victims of Crime Act of 1984, as amended, 34 U.S.C. § 20110(e); the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act of 1974, as amended, 34 U.S.C. § 11182(b); and VAWA, as amended, 34 U.S.C. §
12291(b)(13), contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment.
Despite these nondiscrimination provisions, the DOJ has concluded that it may construe the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) on a case-by-case basis to permit some faith -based organizations to
receive DOJ funds while taking into account religion when hiring staff, even if the statute that authorizes
the funding program generally forbids recipients from considering religion in employment decisions.
Please consult with the OCR if you have any questions about the regulation or the application of RFRA
to the statutes that prohibit discrimination in employment.
38. POTENTIAL IMPOSITION OF ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
As applicable. The recipient agrees to comply with any additional requirements that may be imposed
by the DOJ awarding agency (OJP or OVW, as appropriate) during the period of performance for this
award, if the recipient is designated as "high risk" for purposes of the DOJ high-risk grantee list.
DOJ monitors and evaluates risk for COMMERCE, and COMMERCE monitors and evaluates risk for

the U.S. Code.
Effective as of September 1, 2017, any reference in this award document to a statutory provision that
has been reclassified to the new Title 34 of the U.S. Code is to be read as a reference to that statutory

59. USING ARREST AND CONVICTION RECORDS IN MAKING EMPLOYMENT DECISIONS
The OCR issued an advisory document for recipients on the proper use of arrest and conviction records
in making hiring decisions. See Advisory for Recipients of Financial Assistance from the U.S.
Department of Justice on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's Enforcement
Guidance: Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (June 2013), available at
httos://oio.aov/abouttocr/odfs/UseofConviction Advisorv.odf.
While organizations may take into account a person's recent criminal history in filling positions that
have contact with vulnerable populations, which may include children, people with severe mental or
physical disabilities, or survivors of sexual assault and other violent crimes, recipients should be mindful
that the misuse of arrest or conviction records to screen either applicants for employment or employees
for retention or promotion may have a disparate impact based on race or national origin, resulting in
unlawful employment discrimination. In light of the Advisory, recipients should consult local counsel in
reviewing their employment practices. If warranted, recipients should also incorporate an analysis of
the use of arrest and conviction records in their Equal Employment Opportunity Plans (EEOPs) (see
below).
60. VOCA FUNDS
As applicable. The Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) of 1984 states that VOCA funds are available during
the federal fiscal year of the award, plus the following three fiscal years. At the end of this period, VOCA
funds will be deobligated. OVC has no discretion to permit extensions beyond the statutory period.
(E.g., VOCA funds awarded in FY 2017, are available until the end of FY 2020).
COMMERCE manages this funding period requirement, Grantees must adhere to the grant period on
the Grant Face Sheet.
61. VOCA REQUIREMENTS
