The Department of Public Safety Justice Assistance Act budget is a pass-through account for several grants received from the U.S. Department of Justice. Grant funds are distributed to state and local government agencies which contribute to the efforts of reducing and preventing crime, violence, drug abuse, and improving the functioning of the criminal justice system while maintaining the integrity of the federal funds. Administrative funds are passed through to the Office of Criminal Justice Assistance (OCJA), budget account 4736. The OCJA was designated by the Governor as the State Administrative Agency for Nevada in 1987. In November 2000, the agency was designated by the Governor as the state point of contact for the 1033 Department of Defense Excess Property Program, and the State Coordinator for the 1122 General Services Administration Purchasing Program.
