Gun Violence Prevention and Public Safety Database Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill tells the CDC to build a website where anyone can look up research about gun violence. The database would include studies that use clear data and proven methods to show how they reached their conclusions.
• To be included, the research must be published in professional journals or come from government agencies and trusted research groups. The CDC would also have to list who wrote the studies and who paid for them to keep things transparent.
• The database would pull information from several existing national systems that track deaths, injuries, and risky behaviors. This ensures the information comes from a wide variety of official health and safety records.
• The plan sets aside $5 million every year through 2030 to run the database. It also makes it clear that federal health agencies are allowed to use their money to study gun violence, which has been a debated topic in the past.
• The CDC would be required to update the website every six months with the latest findings. This is meant to give the public and lawmakers a steady stream of facts to help them make decisions about public safety.
