An Act providing for an audit of gun violence prevention and intervention funding

This bill creates a special legislative commission to audit how Massachusetts funds programs aimed at preventing gun violence. The commission will be made up of members from grassroots and community-based organizations in areas most affected by gun violence. Its investigation will examine specific state grants and initiatives, track where money has been spent by neighborhood, and identify which communities have suffered the most from gun violence. Within 180 days, the group must submit a report with its findings and recommendations to various state committees and officials.
