How often courts cite this section
Court decisions citing this, by year.Markers show enactment, consequential amendments, and circuit splits over this section — watch for a citation surge after a change or a disagreement. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
A State or unit of local government shall establish a trust fund in which to deposit amounts received under this part.
(1) In general
Each amount received under this part (including interest on such amount) shall be expended before the date on which the grant period expires.
(2) Repayment

(3) Reduction of future amounts
If a State or unit of local government fails to comply with paragraphs (1) and (2), the Attorney General shall reduce amounts to be provided to that State or unit of local government accordingly.
Amounts received as repayments under this section shall be subject to section 3712g of this title as if such amounts had not been granted and repaid.
