This bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to establish the **Adverse Childhood Experiences Response Team grant program**. This program authorizes the Attorney General, in coordination with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to award grants to States, units of local government, Indian Tribes, and neighborhood or community-based organizations. The primary purpose of these grants is to address adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) associated with exposure to trauma, with an authorization of $10,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2029. Grant funds can be used to establish adverse childhood experiences response teams, develop referral partnerships with behavioral health and substance treatment providers, and integrate law enforcement, mental health, and crisis services. The program also supports implementing comprehensive programs, identifying barriers to trauma-informed care, and providing **trauma-informed training** to emergency responders, victim services, child protective services, and educational institutions. Furthermore, it encourages cross-system planning and collaboration among various public service sectors and offers technical assistance to prevent and mitigate the impact of trauma and violence.
