This bill mandates that all applicants for a Federal grant must submit a certification affirming they have not violated, are not currently violating, and will not violate Section 274(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) for the previous 10 years and throughout the grant's term. Section 274(a) specifically addresses the unlawful bringing in and harboring of certain aliens. The legislation further grants agencies the authority to withhold funds from any grantee determined to be in violation of this requirement, based on information from various sources including the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of OMB, or employee convictions. Additionally, the Attorney General is required to submit information regarding convictions or admissions under INA Section 274(a) to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
