Establishing a Federal Council to Centralize Resources for Gun Violence Victims.

This Act establishes a Federal Advisory Council tasked with surveying victims' needs and centralizing all available resources and best practices for individuals affected by gun violence. The goal is to simplify access to medical, financial, legal, and government benefits for victims and their families, ensuring they can easily find the support they need. The Council will also identify gaps in the current support system for future legislative action.
Key points
A new Federal Advisory Council is created to help victims of gun violence (including family members, witnesses, and those threatened) access necessary support.
The Council will identify and publish centralized information on government programs, financial aid, healthcare, legal assistance, and housing needs.
The Council must assess existing compensation funds and support programs to determine the most effective methods of assistance and submit a report with legislative recommendations.
