What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Stop Gang Violence Act," aims to change how certain federal grants are handled. It proposes to give priority consideration to local government units that provide specific information to the FBI. Specifically, these units would report information on offenses suspected to be gang-related. This information would be included in reports to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Gang Intelligence Center. The change would amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968.
