An Act providing for an audit of gun violence prevention and intervention funding

HD 1014 establishes a special legislative commission to audit all gun violence prevention and intervention funding in Massachusetts. The commission, composed of community-based organizations from areas most impacted by gun violence, will examine specific programs including victim assistance funding, community safety initiatives, youth programs, and neighborhood prevention pilots. It must analyze where gun violence occurs (by census tract) and where funds were spent to identify gaps. The commission must submit a report within 180 days detailing findings and recommendations, including whether a specific pilot program should become permanent.
