People with limited English would get gun violence prevention info in their own language.
This bill helps people with limited English get crucial information on gun violence prevention and safety. Federal agencies, including the Department of Justice and Health and Human Services, would translate materials and launch public campaigns in various languages. Grant applications that show a plan to engage these communities would receive priority.
Right now, federal agencies might not always offer gun violence prevention and firearm safety information in languages other than English. Also, grant programs don't always focus on reaching these communities. If this bill passes, the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services would have to translate important materials into key languages. They would also run national public campaigns. Federal grants for gun violence reduction would also prioritize applicants who show they will reach out to people with limited English. Additionally, some grant recipients would need to translate documents for language groups. This applies if the group makes up at least 3% or 500 individuals in their area.
