Ensuring Non-English Speakers Access Gun Violence Prevention and Safety Information.

This law requires federal agencies to translate critical materials on gun violence prevention and firearm safety into at least 10 priority languages. The goal is to ensure that citizens with limited English proficiency have full access to vital safety programs, including information on extreme risk protection orders (Red Flag laws) and safe storage practices. This measure aims to increase public safety awareness across all linguistic groups.
Key points
Key federal resources on firearm safety and violence prevention (e.g., safe storage rules, extreme risk protection orders) must be translated into priority languages.
The Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services must launch national public awareness campaigns specifically targeting limited English proficient populations with culturally appropriate messaging.
Community organizations will review translated materials for cultural appropriateness. Grant applications for gun violence reduction programs will receive priority if they include specific outreach plans for non-English speaking communities.
