A 2084 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes the office of gun violence prevention and the gun violence advisory council

This bill creates the New York State Office of Gun Violence Prevention and a Gun Violence Advisory Council. The office will coordinate state, local, and federal efforts to prevent gun violence, centralize grant funding, improve data collection on firearm injuries, and run public education campaigns. It requires an annual report to the governor and legislature on gun violence trends and prevention strategies. The advisory council, including survivors, healthcare providers, community leaders, and law enforcement, must advise the office quarterly. The bill directly affects all New Yorkers by establishing a dedicated state agency focused on data-driven prevention and community collaboration.
