Bill Summary
Gun Violence Research Act of 2017
AI Summary
This bill, the Gun Violence Research Act of 2017, aims to clarify that the Dickey Amendment does not prevent the use of funds for research on mental health, gun violence, and how they intersect. The bill provides for reporting on the effects of gun violence, including the effects on public health and mental health, particularly in minority communities. Specifically, the bill amends an existing law to state that nothing in the section shall be construed to limit funding for the conduct or support of research on mental health, gun violence, and how they intersect. The bill also requires the Surgeon General and the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health to submit annual reports to Congress on the effects of gun violence and the status of actions taken to address these effects.
