Supporting Blue Envelope Programs Act
This bill authorizes the Attorney General to provide grants to law enforcement agencies and nonprofit organizations that partner to create or support blue envelope programs. These programs are designed to help individuals with autism spectrum disorder or developmental, cognitive, sensory, or communication disabilities interact safely with law enforcement by providing training, resources, and materials like blue envelopes containing emergency information. The funding, totaling $5 million annually from 2027 to 2031, prioritizes programs that demonstrate scalability, community support, and input from people with disabilities. The Attorney General must also maintain a public directory of funded programs and submit regular reports to Congress on implementation and best practices.
