Office of Gun Violence Prevention Act (HR1307)
Current understanding
The Office of Gun Violence Prevention Act of 2025 (HR1307, 119th Congress) would establish a dedicated federal Office of Gun Violence Prevention to coordinate federal policy, data, and programs addressing firearm-related harm. The bill was introduced and referred to the House Judiciary Committee; substantive structure, placement, and authorities of the proposed office are not fully detailed in the introductory record. Its practical effect on affected communities would depend on whether the office receives appropriations and rulemaking authority or functions primarily as a coordinating body.
