This bill proposes an amendment to the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 , specifically targeting the safety of first responders. Its primary goal is to expand the authorized uses of grant amounts available under the Act. The amendment will allow these federal grants to fund two critical initiatives: providing training and resources for first responders on the proper use of containment devices, and enabling the purchase of these containment devices . These measures are designed to prevent secondary exposure to highly dangerous substances such as fentanyl and other potentially lethal chemicals, thereby enhancing responder safety during critical incidents.
