What it does
The bill requires the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services to translate public materials on gun violence prevention and firearm safety, including extreme risk protection order and safe gun storage information, into the 10 most common non-English languages nationwide, reviewed by community organizations. Grant applications for extreme risk protection order and crisis intervention programs get priority if they include outreach plans for people with limited English proficiency. Both agencies must run public awareness campaigns for these communities and report to Congress on the results.
