The bill proposes the establishment of the Office of Violence Prevention within the Ohio Department of Health, aimed at coordinating and funding community and hospital violence intervention strategies to reduce firearm-related injuries and deaths. It outlines the office's responsibilities, including identifying counties with high rates of firearm violence, administering grants for community intervention programs, and supporting the development of a trained workforce in this field. The office will also create a statewide data system to track the effectiveness of these programs and will publish annual reports on firearm-related trends and the impact of funded initiatives.

Additionally, the bill creates a Violence Prevention Fund, appropriating $30 million to support the office's operations and grant distribution, with a requirement that at least 80% of the funds be allocated to community programs in the identified high-violence counties. The office will also establish regional coordination hubs to enhance collaboration among hospitals, intervention programs, and local health departments. By December 31, 2030, the office is required to report on the evaluations and fiscal impacts of the funded programs to relevant legislative committees.
