Plain-English Summary

This bill would require that information about gun violence prevention programs and resources be made available in multiple languages so that non-English speakers can access these services and understand safety initiatives. The measure would affect law enforcement agencies, public health organizations, and communities working to reduce gun violence by ensuring language barriers don't prevent people from getting help or learning about prevention strategies.
