Local Gun Violence Reduction Act

HR 10480, the Local Gun Violence Reduction Act, requires the CDC to create a searchable federal database where state and local governments (like cities, counties, and towns) can submit information about their gun violence prevention laws and their effectiveness. Specifically, jurisdictions must provide data on law enactment dates, jurisdiction size, and pre- and post-enactment gun violence rates to demonstrate success. The database will be accessible to all local governments, with the CDC reporting annually to Congress on participation, common law topics, and successful policies. The bill allocates $1.5 million for fiscal year 2025 and $1 million annually thereafter to fund this initiative.
