What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

Each distinct thing the section does: appropriate the four grant sums and lift two conditions, set up the State Border Security Reinforcement Fund and its four purposes, appropriate its money, set who may be paid and from when, require applications with a 90 day start, and bar any transfer of federal authority.

Nothing in the section is left out. It has two subsections and each is recorded.

The section points to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, the Immigration and Nationality Act and title 49 of the United States Code, none of which is indexed here.
