National Database to Track Success of Local Gun Violence Prevention Laws

This Act directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the CDC, to establish a database where State and local governments can enter information regarding laws enacted to reduce gun violence. The goal is to collect data on how successful these ordinances have been in reducing gun violence in relevant jurisdictions. The Secretary is required to conduct outreach to encourage governments to use the database.
Key points
The federal government will establish a database for local authorities to register their gun violence reduction laws.
Submissions to the database must include comparative data on gun violence rates before and after the law took effect.
The database will be searchable by states and local units of government to help identify effective legal solutions.
