IMPROVE Safety for Schools Act
This bill requires schools receiving federal funds to provide parents with information about gun safety devices and purchasing recommendations. It creates a 75% tax credit (up to $300) for individuals buying qualifying gun safety devices, with income limits affecting eligibility. Schools must distribute these notices to all parents of students, and the law prohibits federal agencies from disclosing tax return details related to this credit. The bill also adds school safety requirements, including de-escalation training for staff and school safety specialist roles, but the primary focus is on incentivizing gun safety device purchases through tax relief.
