Bill overview
The Language Access to Gun Violence Prevention Strategies Act of 2026 aims to ensure that information and services related to gun violence prevention are accessible to individuals with limited English proficiency. The bill requires federal agencies, particularly the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services, to translate key materials into priority languages (including Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, and Korean) and to involve community-based organizations in reviewing these translations. It also directs agencies to prioritize grant applications that demonstrate outreach to limited English proficient populations and establishes a national public awareness campaign to promote gun violence prevention strategies in multiple languages.
