This bill amends the Education Law to provide funding for school anti-violence education programs through the omnibus school violence prevention grant program. The key provisions include expanding the types of eligible programs to include school-based or school-affiliated anti-violence education programs operated by nonprofit organizations, which must provide evidence-based trauma support, group counseling for youth impacted by gun violence, anti-gun violence education, and youth empowerment programming, while excluding any programs that use firearms for training or demonstration.
