This bill would make it easier for schools and other applicants to apply for federal school security grant money. Right now, some grant funding can come through different Justice Department offices. This bill would allow one single application to be used for grants that may be awarded by either the COPS Office or the Bureau of Justice Assistance. It also says the government should help applicants complete the application, so the process is less confusing and easier to use.
- It directs the Attorney General to set up a process for one combined application instead of separate applications for certain school security grants.
- The single application would cover grants authorized through both the COPS Director and the BJA Director.
- The bill requires the COPS Office or the Bureau of Justice Assistance to give technical help to people applying for these grants.
