Search 42 U.S.C. § 300z-3 : US Code - Section 300Z-3: Uses of grants for demonstration projects for services

(a) Covered projects
Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, funds
provided for demonstration projects for services under this
subchapter may be used by grantees only to -
(1) provide to eligible persons -
(A) care services;
(B) prevention services; or
(C) care and prevention services (in the case of a grantee
who is providing a combination of care and prevention
services);
(2) coordinate, integrate, and provide linkages among providers
of care, prevention, and other services for eligible persons in
furtherance of the purposes of this subchapter;
(3) provide supplemental services where such services are not
adequate or not available to eligible persons in the community
and which are essential to the care of pregnant adolescents and
to the prevention of adolescent premarital sexual relations and
adolescent pregnancy;
(4) plan for the administration and coordination of pregnancy
prevention services and programs of care for pregnant adolescents
and adolescent parents which will further the objectives of this
subchapter; and
(5) fulfill assurances required for grant approval by section
300z-5 of this title.
(b) Family planning services; availability in community
(1) No funds provided for a demonstration project for services
under this subchapter may be used for the provision of family
planning services (other than counseling and referral services) to
adolescents unless appropriate family planning services are not
otherwise available in the community.
(2) Any grantee who receives funds for a demonstration project
for services under this subchapter and who, after determining under
paragraph (1) that appropriate family planning services are not
otherwise available in the community, provides family planning
services (other than counseling and referral services) to
adolescents may only use funds provided under this subchapter for
such family planning services if all funds received by such grantee
from all other sources to support such family planning services are
insufficient to support such family planning services.
(c) Fees for services: criteria
Grantees who receive funds for a demonstration project for
services under this subchapter shall charge fees for services
pursuant to a fee schedule approved by the Secretary as a part of
the application described in section 300z-5 of this title which
bases fees charged by the grantee on the income of the eligible
person or the parents or legal guardians of the eligible person and
takes into account the difficulty adolescents face in obtaining
resources to pay for services. A grantee who receives funds for a
demonstration project for services under this subchapter may not,
in any case, discriminate with regard to the provision of services
to any individual because of that individual's inability to provide
payment for such services, except that in determining the ability
of an unemancipated minor to provide payment for services, the
income of the family of an unemancipated minor shall be considered
in determining the ability of such minor to make such payments
unless the parents or guardians of the unemancipated minor refuse
to make such payments.
