SOS Act of 2025

This legislation proposes to amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, significantly updating its funding provisions. The primary goal is to enhance school safety by providing dedicated financial support for school resource officers. The bill revises Section 1101(a)(11) of the Act, increasing the total authorized appropriation to $1,097,119,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2035 . Crucially, it mandates that not less than $50,000,000 of this annual appropriation be specifically allocated for grants. These grants are designated for local governments or law enforcement agencies to fund purposes related to school resource officers, thereby strengthening security in educational institutions.
