Language Access to Gun Violence Prevention Strategies Act of 2023

S 2565, the Language Access to Gun Violence Prevention Strategies Act of 2023, requires the U.S. Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services to translate key gun violence prevention materials - including extreme risk protection orders and safe gun storage resources - into the 10 most common non-English languages in the U.S. (like Spanish, Mandarin, and Korean) and make them accessible to limited English proficient populations. The bill mandates that translated materials be reviewed by community-based organizations serving these language groups before release and prioritizes grant applications that include targeted outreach plans for limited English proficient communities. It also directs both departments to launch public awareness campaigns using culturally appropriate, in-language messaging about gun violence prevention strategies and safe firearm practices. This law directly affects federal agencies, community organizations, and non-English speaking individuals seeking access to gun safety resources.
