archived

Since the State of Wyoming does not participate in the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDP Act), Part B, Formula Grants Program, as amended, the State is ineligible to receive the fiscal year (FY) 2009 Formula Grants Program allocation authorized under Sections 221–223 of the Act (codified at 42 U.S.C. Sections 5631–5633), in the amount of $570,000. Accordingly, OJJDP, will competitively award these funds through the OJJDP FY 2009 Nonparticipating State Program, Wyoming. The purpose of this program is to assist Wyoming in developing a range of secure and nonsecure alternatives for juveniles in custody and in revising policies and implementing procedures to address compliance with the core requirements of the JJDP Act, Sections 233(a)(11), (12), (13), and (22) as codified at 42 U.S.C. 5633(a)(11)(12)(13) and (22) (core requirements). The program is authorized under the JJDP Act, specifically, Section 223(d).
