Gun Violence Prevention and Public Safety Database Act of 2026

The Gun Violence Prevention and Public Safety Database Act of 2026 directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to create a publicly accessible online database containing research on gun violence in the United States. To be included, studies must meet specific criteria such as presenting original analysis, describing their data sources and methods, and being published in peer-reviewed journals or by government agencies. The database will draw on existing federal health and safety systems and must be updated every six months, while the bill also authorizes $5 million annually through 2030 to fund this research and database maintenance.
