This bill aims to remove linguistic barriers that prevent individuals with limited English proficiency from accessing gun violence prevention strategies. It mandates that the Attorney General and the Secretary of Health and Human Services ensure all significant federal resources related to gun violence prevention and firearm safety are competently translated into priority languages and provided in accessible formats. These resources include materials on extreme risk protection orders and safe gun storage , with translations requiring review by community-based organizations to ensure cultural competence and accessibility. The legislation also prioritizes grant applications for gun violence reduction efforts that demonstrate targeted outreach and meaningful engagement with limited English proficient populations. It further directs the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services to develop national public awareness campaigns. These campaigns will focus on disseminating in-language and culturally appropriate information about federally supported gun violence prevention strategies, such as extreme risk protection orders and safe gun storage practices, to enhance participation among these communities.
