Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes several federal criminal justice grant programs. To get a Byrne Justice Assistance Grant, a discretionary grant, or a COPS policing grant, a state, local government, or tribe would have to certify that in the previous fiscal year it did not intentionally, accidentally, or otherwise knowingly disclose personal information about people who registered a firearm, applied for a concealed or open carry permit, or applied for a firearm background check. Private groups seeking certain grants would have to certify they have not used or shared such information. The bill also defines "firearm" and "personally identifiable information" for these programs.
