Local Gun Violence Reduction Act

HR 4883, the Local Gun Violence Reduction Act, creates a federal database managed by the CDC to collect and share information about local gun violence prevention laws. It requires cities, counties, and other local governments to submit data on their enacted laws - including dates, government size, and pre- and post-enactment gun violence statistics - to the database within one year of the bill's passage. The searchable database will allow all local governments to access this information, and the CDC must report to Congress every two years on participation, successful laws, and geographic trends. The bill authorizes $1.5 million for fiscal year 2026 and $1 million annually thereafter to fund this effort.
