Title: FY2006 Appropriations for State and Local Homeland Security
Authors: Shawn Reese, Government and Finance Division 
Abstract: P.L. 109-90 - FY2006 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations - appropriated a total of $2.97 billion for state and local homeland security grant programs. This was $645 million less than was appropriated for these programs in FY2005 ($3.61 billion). The act did not propose to alter the funding formula for the State Homeland Security Grant Program and the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program. It did require, however, that states update their State Homeland Security Strategies in accordance with the Interim National Preparedness Goal to be eligible for federal homeland security assistance.
