The Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) administers the STOP Formula Grant Program funds which must be distributed by STOP state administrators according to statutory. As a result of the Violence Against Women's Act of 2013 and the penalty provision of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), States are required to certify compliance with PREA. If States cannot certify compliance, they have the option of forfeiting five percent of covered funds or executing an assurance that five percent of covered funds will be used towards coming into compliance with PREA.

As a result of the Reauthorization of VAWA 2013 and the penalty provision of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), States will be required to certify that they are in compliance with PREA and if they are not in compliance, States will have the option of forfeiting 4.75 percent of STOP Formula Grant funds or executing an assurance that 4.75 percent of STOP Formula Grant funds will be used towards coming into compliance. This form is needed because the FY 2014 STOP awards must adhere to these new statutory provisions and this tool is needed in order to assist States in ensuring they appropriately document compliance with PREA.
