Key Points

  • This bill, introduced by Ms. Pettersen, would create a grant program to help states improve their crisis intervention programs. The Attorney General would provide one-year grants between $200,000 and $500,000 to states that apply for the funding.
  • The money is intended to train a wide range of professionals, including police officers, prosecutors, judges, doctors, and teachers. These groups would learn how to better handle extreme risk protection orders, which are court orders used to temporarily remove firearms from individuals who may be a danger to themselves or others.
  • The goal is to create a standard set of training materials and rules so that these programs work the same way across the country. By using proven, evidence-based methods, the policy aims to make sure these crisis programs are handled quickly and effectively.
  • This funding would help local agencies coordinate their efforts. It ensures that everyone from school officials to court staff has the right tools and information to respond when someone is in a mental health or safety crisis.
