"(ii) For each of fiscal years 2004 through 2009, the Secretary shall, after making grants under paragraph (2)(A)(i) of this subsection, make a one-time grant to each State that either enacts for the first time after December 31, 2002, and has in effect a primary safety belt use law for all passenger motor vehicles, or, in the case of a State that does not have such a primary safety belt use law, has a State safety belt use rate in the preceding fiscal year of at least 90 percent, as measured under criteria determined by the Secretary."

"(iii) Of the funds authorized for grants under this subsection, $100,000,000 in each of fiscal years 2004 through 2009 shall be available for grants under this paragraph.
