Gun Violence Prevention and Public Safety Database Act of 2026

This bill would require the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to create a public online database of research on gun violence in the United States within one year. The CDC would publish criteria for what research can be included, such as being peer-reviewed or issued by a government agency, and describing its data and methods. Research in the database would list who wrote it and who funded it when possible, and the database would be updated every six months. The bill would also allow federal health funds, including for the CDC and the National Institutes of Health, to be used for gun violence research, and authorizes $5 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
