Evidence-Based Gun Violence Reduction and Prevention Act of 2025

The Evidence-Based Gun Violence Reduction and Prevention Act of 2025 establishes a new Group Violence Intervention Initiative to reduce gun violence by focusing law enforcement efforts on high-risk individuals and groups, coordinating across agencies, and providing social services to those willing to stop violent behavior. It authorizes the Metropolitan Police Department to hire civilian staff for property crime investigations and cold cases, requires a biannual report on repeat violent offenders from the Sentencing Commission, and expands Medicaid coverage to include community violence prevention services for beneficiaries. The bill also gives the Mayor authority to address properties with criminal activity (criminal blight). These provisions directly affect law enforcement agencies, residents in high-violence neighborhoods, and Medicaid recipients in the District of Columbia.
