Relating to: violence prevention grants and making an appropriation. (FE)
This bill establishes a violence prevention grant program funded by taxes on vapor products. The money would be distributed to local health departments and tribal health centers, which could then award grants to organizations for violence prevention initiatives. A key provision explicitly prohibits these health entities from giving the funds to law enforcement agencies or any groups working through them. The legislation also authorizes an additional $150,000 in state funding to support the administrative staff needed to manage this grant program.
