Annotation
This report contains the text of H.R. 17825, which consists of amendments to the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 as recommended by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary.
Abstract
The original legislation established the Federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA). The amendments contained in the current bill would authorize appropriations for the following 3 fiscal years and would reorganize the administrative management of the LEAA by substituting a single administrator for the present 3-person board. H.R. 17825 would also establish a new program for the construction, acquisition, and renovation of correctional facilities and would require that the States contribute 25 percent of the non-Federal share of funding necessary to support programs of local government that receive Federal assistance.
