The Domestic Violence Clinical Legal Education Account is created within the General Fund. The account shall consist of moneys paid into the account under ORS 21.111 (4). Moneys credited to the account are continuously appropriated to the Department of Higher Education, and may be used only for the purpose of funding clinical legal education programs at accredited institutions of higher education that provide civil legal services to victims of domestic violence, stalking or sexual assault. The department may provide funding to a program from the account only if the program operates in conjunction with at least one nonprofit service provider to victims of domestic violence, stalking or sexual assault, and as part of the program the provider performs victim counseling services and student training. The department shall distribute moneys from the account to programs in amounts that are proportional to the number of victims of domestic violence, stalking or sexual assault served by the program in the preceding year as compared to the number of victims of domestic violence, stalking or sexual assault served by all programs in the preceding year.
