HR 1334 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To permit a single application to be submitted to the COPS Director or BJA Director for the matching grant program for school security.
Summary
This bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to streamline the grant application process for school security programs. It authorizes the Attorney General to establish a process allowing schools to submit a single grant application for matching grants available through both the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Director and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Director, instead of submitting separate applications to each office. The bill also requires the COPS Director or BJA Director to provide technical assistance to applicants to help them complete their applications. This change simplifies the process for schools seeking federal funding for safety and security improvements.
