Language Access to Gun Violence Prevention Strategies Act of 2026

This bill requires the Department of Justice and Health and Human Services to translate key gun violence prevention materials - including extreme risk protection orders and safe storage guides - into priority languages (like Mandarin, Spanish, and others spoken by 3%+ of a population) for limited English proficiency (LEP) communities. It mandates that translated materials undergo review by community-based organizations serving those language groups before release. Grant applications for gun violence prevention programs must include targeted outreach plans for LEP populations, and federal agencies must develop public awareness campaigns in multiple languages. The law directly affects federal agencies, community organizations, and LEP populations seeking access to gun safety resources and prevention strategies.
