AI Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to create and maintain a national database for local gun violence prevention laws within one year of enactment. The database will allow cities, towns, counties, and special district governments to voluntarily submit information about their local laws and ordinances designed to reduce gun violence, including details such as the government's size, the date the law was enacted and implemented, and gun violence rates before and after the law took effect. The database will be searchable by other local and state governments, and the Secretary will conduct outreach to encourage participation. Every two years, the Secretary must submit a report to Congress detailing the number of database submissions, common themes identified, which laws appear most successful, and geographic variations in participation. The bill authorizes $1.5 million in funding for fiscal year 2026 and $1 million annually thereafter to support the database's creation and maintenance. By collecting and sharing this information, the bill aims to help local governments learn from each other's efforts to reduce gun violence.
