This bill establishes the Violence Intervention Program Act, which creates the Violence Intervention Program Fund to provide grants to state agencies, counties, municipalities, or tribal governments that are disproportionately impacted by violent crimes, including homicides, shootings, and aggravated assaults. The bill sets requirements for the violence intervention programs, including using evidence-based or research-based public health approaches, focused deterrence, and data-driven methods. The bill also outlines the application and reporting requirements for the grant program, and appropriates $10 million from the general fund to the Violence Intervention Program Fund for fiscal year 2023 and subsequent years.
