Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a gun violence prevention pilot program focused on mental health services, conflict resolution, and alternatives for at-risk youth, including referrals to a firearm offenders class; this addresses gun violence through non-carceral, preventive measures without changing firearm access, ownership, purchase, carry, or related laws, so it fits only under firearms/other and restricts the prevalence of gun violence.
