=No change to gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Establishes a state center to research, collect data on, coordinate, fund via grants, evaluate, and promote best practices for community-based firearm violence intervention and prevention programs (including street outreach, hospital-based, and group violence intervention), so greater implementation
Serve as the Commonwealth's primary resource for research, best practices, and strategies for the implementation of firearm violence intervention, community-based intervention, and group violence intervention programs designed to reduce violence in communities
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates and funds a state center focused on firearm violence data, research, coordination, grants for intervention programs, and training on red-flag orders and firearm removal from prohibited persons. The red-flag training provision expands use of ERPOs; the remainder is programmatic and research-focused with no direct change to buying, owning, carrying, or restrictions on firearms themselves.
