Rep. Strickland Introduces Bill to Provide $50 Million Yearly for CDC Gun Violence Research
This bill is currently sitting in the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. Nothing has happened with this proposal since July 2025. Because no action has occurred for 11 months, the bill is considered stalled.
This bill only has support from one party and deals with a very controversial topic. It will likely struggle to get a vote in a divided Congress.
This bill’s path across every version that has carried it.
Scores run from -100 (strongly harmful) to +100 (strongly beneficial) for each group, combining impact, certainty, scope, and duration ratings of 1-5. How impact scoring works
The bill does not create any new restrictions on gun ownership, but gun owners may be indirectly affected over the long term. CDC research findings could eventually inform future policy proposals related to firearm storage, design, or access, though the bill itself only authorizes research, not regulation.
“for the purpose of conducting or supporting research on firearms safety or gun violence prevention under the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 201 et seq.).”
