    ``(g)(1) In order not to reduce the funds available under this 
subpart by 25 percent (for redistribution to other participating 
States), a State shall, on the first day of each fiscal year succeeding 
the first fiscal year beginning after September 30, 1994, have in 
effect throughout the State in such fiscal year a law which requires a 
sentence of death to be imposed when a law enforcement officer is 
killed in the line of duty.
    ``(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term `law enforcement 
officer' has the same meaning given such term in section 1204(5).''.
