House Bill No. 5317, as amended by House Amendments "A" and "B," is an act requiring a study on the funding sustainability for the Community Gun Violence Intervention and Prevention Program and a report on the program's effectiveness. The bill mandates that the Commissioner of Public Health and the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, in collaboration with the Commission on Community Gun Violence Intervention and Prevention, conduct a study on the sustainability of funding for the program. This study will include an examination of potential funding sources for the program. By January 1, 2025, the commissioner and secretary must jointly report the study's findings to the General Assembly's committees related to public health and state agency budgets.

Additionally, the bill requires that the annual reports from the Commissioner of Public Health to the Public Health Committee include updates on the program's effectiveness in preventing and reducing gun violence in the state. The bill repeals the existing Section 19a-112i of the general statutes and substitutes it with new provisions that reflect these requirements. The bill specifies that the amendments to Section 19a-112i are effective upon passage. The fiscal impact statement indicates that there is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state or municipalities from the bill. House Amendment "A" adds the requirement for consultation with the Commission on Community Gun Violence Intervention and Prevention and the inclusion of program effectiveness updates in the annual reports. House Amendment "B" removes the Department of Revenue Services from the study obligations, assigning the Office of Policy and Management to work with the Department of Public Health instead. The bill is effective upon passage.
