Bill > H3441

This bill aims to provide law enforcement with enhanced tools to combat youth violence by allocating $10,000,000 for youth violence prevention program grants, specifically targeting high-risk youth in municipalities with the most gun violence-related homicides and serious assaults. It also strengthens penalties for violent crimes involving firearms, including assault and battery with a firearm, and assault with a firearm, with increased prison sentences for repeat offenders. Furthermore, the bill expands the definition of prohibited weapons and clarifies regulations regarding firearms on school grounds, while also introducing new provisions to address "enterprise crime," which involves patterns of criminal activity within organizations, and allows for the forfeiture of assets gained through such activities.
