The proposed bill establishes the Community Violence Intervention and Prevention Act, which aims to create a grant program and fund dedicated to addressing community violence in Michigan. The bill defines "community violence" and outlines eligibility criteria for local governments to receive funding, specifically targeting areas with high homicide rates. The Office of Community Violence Intervention and Prevention Services will administer the grant program, which will provide financial support to community-based nonprofit organizations and eligible local governments to implement evidence-informed strategies that reduce community violence without contributing to mass incarceration.

Additionally, the bill mandates that grant recipients report on their program outcomes and best practices for community violence intervention. The Community Violence Intervention and Prevention Fund will be created within the state treasury, allowing for the deposit and investment of funds to support the program. The Department of Health and Human Services is tasked with promulgating rules to implement the act, which will only take effect if a related Senate bill is also enacted.
