Bill Summary
A BILL To permit a single application to be submitted to the COPS Director or BJA Director for the matching grant program for school security.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Single Application for School Safety Act (SASS Act), aims to simplify the grant application process for school security funding by allowing schools to submit a single grant application that can be considered by two different federal directors: the COPS (Community Oriented Policing Services) Director and the BJA (Bureau of Justice Assistance) Director. Specifically, the bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to establish a process where schools can submit one comprehensive grant application that can be reviewed by both directors for potential funding. Additionally, the bill requires either the COPS Director or the BJA Director to provide technical assistance to applicants to help them complete their grant applications. The goal of this legislation is to reduce administrative burden on schools seeking security funding by streamlining the application process and providing support to help institutions successfully apply for grants that can enhance school safety measures.
