The bill establishes new funding and training requirements for community violence prevention and intervention services in Washington State. It mandates the authority to administer funding for programs that assist youth and adults who have been violently injured or are at risk of such injuries. These programs must be located in both eastern and western regions of the Cascade mountains and are required to coordinate with local school districts. Starting January 1, 2027, all community violence professionals must complete specific training as outlined in the bill. The funding will support program operations, training coordination with the Department of Health, and the transition to billing medical assistance for these services.

Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Health to establish training curricula for community violence professionals by January 1, 2026. This training will cover essential topics such as trauma-informed care, community-based strategies, and advocacy practices. The bill defines "community violence" and outlines the types of services that community violence professionals will provide, emphasizing a holistic approach to support individuals affected by violence. The aim is to improve health outcomes, prevent recidivism, and reduce the likelihood of future violence among victims.
