Stop Gang Violence Act

This bill changes the rules for the federal Byrne-JAG grant program, which gives money to state and local governments for criminal justice work. It would add a new group of local jurisdictions to receive priority consideration for these grants. That group is jurisdictions that include information on offenses suspected to be gang-related in their crime reports to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, including the National Gang Intelligence Center.
