(b) Coordination The Secretary of Homeland Security shall coordinate with Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies on the prioritization described in subsection (a). (c) Enforcement For each fiscal year during which a State or local law enforcement agency does not substantially comply with the requirement under this section, the Secretary of Homeland Security is authorized to withhold from the State in which the law enforcement agency is located— (1) up to 8 percent of the amount that would otherwise be made available to the State under the Emergency Management Performance Grant program under section 662 of the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (6 U.S.C. 762) for the first fiscal year; and (2) up to 12 percent of such amount for each subsequent fiscal year.
