Bill > HR1470

This bill, known as the Strengthening Our Schools Act of 2025 or the SOS Act of 2025, amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to increase and modify funding for school resource officers (SROs). Specifically, the bill raises the annual funding allocation from $1,047,119,000 to $1,097,119,000 for fiscal years 2026 through 2035, and mandates that at least $50,000,000 of these funds be allocated specifically for grants to local governments and law enforcement agencies to support school resource officer programs. School resource officers are typically sworn law enforcement officers deployed in schools to enhance student safety, provide security, and build positive relationships between students and law enforcement. The bill aims to provide more consistent and substantial financial support for SRO programs across the United States, potentially helping schools improve security and create safer learning environments.
