Plain-English Summary
The federal government would prioritize giving crime-fighting grants to local police departments and sheriffs' offices that share information about gang affiliations with the FBI. This means cities and counties that report gang-related data would have a better chance of receiving federal funding to support law enforcement activities. The change aims to encourage information-sharing between local police and federal authorities to help combat gang violence.
