A bill to amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to establish the Adverse Childhood Experiences Response Team grant program, and for other purposes.

S 2298 establishes a federal grant program to help communities address children's exposure to trauma (Adverse Childhood Experiences or ACEs). It directly affects States, local governments, tribes, and community organizations that receive grants to create coordinated response teams. Funds can be used for trauma response protocols, partnerships with mental health providers, cross-system collaboration (like between law enforcement and schools), training for first responders, and removing barriers to trauma-informed care. The bill authorizes $10 million annually from 2024 through 2027 for this program under the Omnibus Crime Control Act.
