Plain Language Summary

# Office of Gun Violence Prevention Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would create a new Office of Gun Violence Prevention within the federal government. The office would be responsible for studying gun violence, developing prevention strategies, and coordinating efforts across different government agencies to address firearms-related deaths and injuries. It would also oversee criminal justice information systems related to firearms and work with the Department of Justice on gun violence prevention initiatives. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill would primarily affect federal agencies working on public health and criminal justice issues, which would need to coordinate with this new office.

It includes provisions for Congressional oversight of the office's activities and funding. While specific funding amounts aren't detailed in this summary, the bill establishes the office as a formal government body with authority to conduct studies and investigations into gun violence patterns and prevention methods. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Maxwell Frost (D-FL-10).
