This legislation amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to enhance protection against mass violence by allocating an additional $20,000,000 in grant funding. These grants will be distributed by the Attorney General to States, units of local governments, and nonprofit organizations that serve victims of crime. The funds are specifically designated to provide compensation, training, and technical assistance to public assembly facilities , enabling them to better prepare for and protect against incidents of mass violence. The bill defines mass violence to include active shooter incidents and targeted violence, and broadly defines a public assembly facility as any place where concentrations of people gather for various purposes, such as education, worship, shopping, or entertainment.
