Public Law 99-357 99th Congress An Act To amend the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act with respect to State allotments under the Act.

July 8, 1986 [H.R. 4841]

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. ALLOTMENTS UNDER THE CARL D. PERKINS VOCATIONAL EDUCATION ACT.

Section 101(a)(3) of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act is amended to read as follows: "(3)(A)(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of law and subject to clause (ii), for any fiscal year for programs authorized by title II or part B of title III of this Act, no State shall receive less than the payments made to the State for each such program for fiscal year 1985 under Public Laws 98-619 and 99-88. Amounts necessary for increasing such payments to States to comply with the preceding sentence shall be obtained by ratably reducing the amounts to be paid to other States, but no such amount shall be reduced to an amount which is less than the amount a State received under the Act for each such program for fiscal year 1985. "(ii) If for any fiscal year the amount appropriated for programs authorized by title II or part B of title III and available for allotment under this section is insufficient to satisfy the provisions of clause (i), the payments to all States for each such program shall be ratably reduced as necessary. "(B)(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of law and subject to subparagraph (A) and clause (ii), for any fiscal year for which the amounts appropriated for programs authorized by title II or part A, B, C, D, or E of title III (and available for allotment under this section) exceed the amounts so available for fiscal year 1985, no State shall receive less than one-half of one percent of the amount available for each such program for that fiscal year under this subsection. Amounts necessary for increasing such payments to States to comply with the preceding sentence shall be obtained by ratably reducing the amounts to be paid to other States.
