L. 106–367, Oct. 27, 2000, 114 Stat. 1412, as amend- ed by Pub. L. 109–248, title VI, §§ 612–617, July 27, 2006, 120 Stat. 632, 633, provided that: ‘‘SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. ‘‘This Act may be cited as the ‘National Police Ath- letic/Activities League Youth Enrichment Act of 2000’. ‘‘SEC. 2. FINDINGS. ‘‘Congress makes the following findings: ‘‘(1) The goals of the Police Athletic/Activities League are to— ‘‘(A) increase the academic success of youth par- ticipants in PAL programs; ‘‘(B) promote a safe, healthy environment for youth under the supervision of law enforcement personnel where mutual trust and respect can be built; ‘‘(C) develop life enhancing character and leader- ship skills in young people; ‘‘(D) increase school attendance by providing al- ternatives to suspensions and expulsions; ‘‘(E) reduce the juvenile crime rate in partici- pating designated communities and the number of police calls involving juveniles during nonschool hours; ‘‘(F) provide youths with alternatives to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and gang activity; ‘‘(G) create positive communications and inter- action between youth and law enforcement per- sonnel; and ‘‘(H) prepare youth for the workplace. ‘‘(2) The Police Athletic/Activities League, during its 90-year history as a national organization, has proven to be a positive force in the communities it serves. ‘‘(3) The Police Athletic/Activities League is a net- work of 1,700 facilities serving over 3,000 commu- nities. There are 350 PAL chapters throughout the United States, the Virgin Islands, and the Common- wealth of Puerto Rico, serving 2,000,000 youth, ages 5 to 18, nationwide. ‘‘(4) Based on PAL chapter demographics, approxi- mately 85 percent of the youths who benefit from PAL programs live in inner cities and urban areas. ‘‘(5) PAL chapters are locally operated, volunteer- driven organizations. Although most PAL chapters are sponsored by a law enforcement agency, PAL chapters rarely receive direct funding from law en- forcement agencies and are dependent in large part on support from the private sector, such as individ- uals, business leaders, corporations, and foundations. PAL chapters have been exceptionally successful in balancing public funds with private sector donations and maximizing community involvement. ‘‘(6) Today’s youth face far greater risks than did their parents and grandparents. Law enforcement statistics demonstrate that youth between the ages of 12 and 18 are at risk of committing violent acts and being victims of violent acts between the hours of 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. ‘‘(7) Greater numbers of students are dropping out of school and failing in school, even though the con- sequences of academic failure are more dire in 2005 than ever before. ‘‘(8) Many distressed areas in the United States are still underserved by PAL chapters. ‘‘SEC. 3. PURPOSE. ‘‘The purpose of this Act is to provide adequate re- sources in the form of— ‘‘(1) assistance for the 342 established PAL chapters to increase of services to the communities they are serving; ‘‘(2) seed money for the establishment of 250 (50 per year over a 5-year period) additional local PAL chap- ters in public housing projects and other distressed areas, including distressed areas with a majority pop- ulation of Native Americans, by not later than fiscal year 2010; and ‘‘(3) support of an annual gathering of PAL chap- ters and designated youth leaders from such chapters to participate in a 3-day conference that addresses national and local issues impacting the youth of America and includes educational sessions to advance character and leadership skills. ‘‘SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS. ‘‘In this Act: ‘‘(1) ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL.—The term ‘As- sistant Attorney General’ means the Assistant Attor- ney General for the Office of Justice Programs of the Department of Justice. ‘‘(2) DISTRESSED AREA.—The term ‘distressed area’ means an urban, suburban, or rural area with a high percentage of high-risk youth, as defined in section 509A of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 290aa–8(f)) [transferred to 42 U.S.C. 290bb–23(g) and re- pealed by Pub.

B, title IX, § 9017, Dec. 13, 2016, 130 Stat. 1248]. ‘‘(3) PAL CHAPTER.—The term ‘PAL chapter’ means a chapter of a Police or Sheriff’s Athletic/Activities League. ‘‘(4) POLICE ATHLETIC/ACTIVITIES LEAGUE.—The term ‘Police Athletic/Activities League’ means the pri- vate, nonprofit, national representative organization for 320 Police or Sheriff’s Athletic/Activities Leagues throughout the United States (including the Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico). ‘‘(5) PUBLIC HOUSING; PROJECT.—The terms ‘public housing’ and ‘project’ have the meanings given those terms in section 3(b) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437a(b)). ‘‘SEC. 5. GRANTS AUTHORIZED. ‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—Subject to appropriations, for each of fiscal years 2006 through 2010, the Assistant Attorney General shall award a grant to the Police Athletic/Ac- tivities League for the purpose of establishing PAL chapters to serve public housing projects and other dis- tressed areas, and expanding existing PAL chapters to serve additional youths. ‘‘(b) APPLICATION.— ‘‘(1) SUBMISSION.—In order to be eligible to receive a grant under this section, the Police Athletic/Activi- ties League shall submit to the Assistant Attorney General an application, which shall include— ‘‘(A) a long-term strategy to establish 250 addi- tional PAL chapters and detailed summary of those areas in which new PAL chapters will be estab- lished, or in which existing chapters will be ex- panded to serve additional youths, during the next fiscal year; ‘‘(B) a plan to ensure that there are a total of not fewer than 500 PAL chapters in operation before January 1, 2010; ‘‘(C) a certification that there will be appropriate coordination with those communities where new PAL chapters will be located; and ‘‘(D) an explanation of the manner in which new PAL chapters will operate without additional, di- rect Federal financial assistance once assistance under this Act is discontinued. ‘‘(2) REVIEW.—The Assistant Attorney General shall review and take action on an application submitted under paragraph (1) not later than 120 days after the date of such submission. ‘‘SEC. 6.
