Gun violence pilot program established to reduce trauma, report required, and money appropriated.

HF 1637 establishes a Minnesota pilot program to reduce trauma from gun violence by funding community-based services. It directs the state health commissioner to provide grants to organizations offering healing services, train community "trauma navigators" to help families access resources like housing and mental health care after gun violence, and develop culturally appropriate education campaigns. The bill appropriates $5 million for the program through fiscal year 2028 and requires a progress report by February 1, 2027, to health and public safety committees. This program directly affects communities and families impacted by gun violence, focusing on trauma support rather than criminal justice measures.
