AI Summary

This bill establishes an "Operation SNUG" program within the division of criminal justice services to provide grant awards aimed at reducing, preventing, and responding to gun violence. The program will receive an annual appropriation of at least $30 million, with specific allocations designated for both the State Senate and Assembly. Each legislative body will have at least $5 million to distribute through a plan approved by their leadership and the budget director. Additionally, at least $20 million will be awarded to grantees providing services across various New York counties, with a detailed sub-schedule allocating specific amounts to counties like Albany, Erie, Westchester, and the five New York City counties. The grants will support programs including educational initiatives, youth justice, gang prevention, social work, and street outreach. The commissioner also has the flexibility to use up to $5 million to increase funding for listed counties or expand the program to additional counties. The bill will take effect on the first of April following its enactment, with immediate authorization for preparing necessary implementation rules and regulations.
