Summary

Expands permitted uses of certain Department of Justice grant funds to allow installation of panic buttons and surveillance equipment in private businesses, and explicitly makes businesses classified under NAICS 445131 eligible recipients of those grant funds. It does not appropriate new money or create new spending; it changes who can receive existing grant support and what equipment may be funded. One section provides the short title only; the substantive section amends the federal grant statute to add private-business-targeted security equipment to authorized program uses and to add NAICS 445131 businesses to an existing recipient list.

• Permits use of certain DOJ grant funds to install panic buttons and surveillance equipment in private businesses.

• Does not provide new appropriations or create a separate grant program; it amends eligible uses and recipients only.
• Requires grant administrators to update guidance, application forms, and recipient eligibility checks.
• May enable more bodegas and similar small grocers to receive federal support for security hardware.
• Could raise privacy and civil liberties questions related to funded surveillance systems.
• Impacts actual funding only to the extent existing or future appropriations are available and program priorities permit.
• Short title provision does not affect substance or funding.
