Bill Summary
A BILL To authorize the appropriation of funds to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for conducting or supporting research on firearms safety or gun violence prevention.
AI Summary
This bill aims to authorize $50 million in annual funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from fiscal years 2026 through 2031 specifically for conducting or supporting research on firearms safety and gun violence prevention. The funding would be in addition to any existing appropriations for similar research and would be administered under the Public Health Service Act. By providing dedicated and consistent funding, the bill seeks to enable more comprehensive scientific investigation into the public health aspects of gun violence, which has historically been limited due to funding constraints. The bill's short title, the "Gun Violence Prevention Research Act of 2025," reflects its primary purpose of supporting scientific research to better understand and potentially mitigate gun-related injuries and deaths from a public health perspective.
