(a) Duties of Institute
  With respect to grants made and contracts or cooperative
agreements entered into under this chapter, the Institute shall -

  Institute shall be used at any time, directly or indirectly, to
  influence the issuance, amendment, or revocation of any Executive
  order or similar promulgation by any Federal, State, or local
  agency, or to undertake to influence the passage or defeat of any
  legislation or constitutional amendment by the Congress of the
  United States, or by any State or local legislative body, or any
  State proposal by initiative petition, or of any referendum,
  unless a governmental agency, legislative body, a committee, or a
  member thereof - 
      (A) requests personnel of the recipients to testify, draft,
    or review measures or to make representations to such agency,
    body, committee, or member; or
      (B) is considering a measure directly affecting the
    activities under this chapter of the recipient or the
    Institute; and

    (2) ensure all personnel engaged in grant, cooperative
  agreement or contract assistance activities supported in whole or
  part by the Institute refrain, while so engaged, from any
  partisan political activity.
(b) Use of funds for training programs for advocacy of nonjudicial
  public policies or encouraging nonjudicial political activities
  No funds made available by the Institute under this chapter,
either by grant, cooperative agreement, or contract, may be used to
support or conduct training programs for the purpose of advocating
particular nonjudicial public policies or encouraging nonjudicial
political activities.
(c) Authority coextensive with appropriation Acts
  The authorization to enter into cooperative agreements, contracts
or any other obligation under this chapter shall be effective only
to the extent, and in such amounts, as are provided in advance in
appropriation Acts.
(d) Prohibited uses of funds
  To ensure that funds made available under this chapter are used
to supplement and improve the operation of State courts, rather
than to support basic court services, funds shall not be used - 
    (1) to supplant State or local funds currently supporting a
  program or activity; or
    (2) to construct court facilities or structures, except to
  remodel existing facilities to demonstrate new architectural or
  technological techniques, or to provide temporary facilities for
  new personnel or for personnel involved in a demonstration or
  experimental program.
