Restoring Trust in Public Safety Act

HR 8768, the Restoring Trust in Public Safety Act, provides $15 million annually (2025-2030) for federal grants to state, tribal, and local governments to safely destroy firearms. Eligible entities must use funds to fully destroy firearms (including all parts and accessories) through methods like shredding or crushing, maintain detailed records, and provide documented proof of destruction. The bill requires grantees to use no more than 10% of funds for administration and prioritizes funding for rural areas and Metropolitan Statistical Areas. It directly affects local law enforcement agencies and governments seeking to eliminate firearms through certified destruction programs.
