Amend Section 1001(a)(21) of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 by striking the phrase “2020 through 2024” and inserting the phrase “2025 through 2029.”
Replaces the date range "2020 through 2024" with "2025 through 2029" in an existing provision of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. The change simply moves the statutory reference period forward by five years and does not itself create new programs, change funding levels, or add new substantive requirements.
Who is affected and how:
State and local law enforcement agencies and first responders: Most directly affected because they commonly receive grants, training, or other program benefits under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act; the statutory citation or eligibility/reference period they rely on will reflect the new date range, potentially allowing continued references or program actions tied to a 2025–2029 timeframe.
Eligible recipients of the statute's programs (grantees or program participants): Will see statutory references updated; in practice this may preserve or extend the window during which certain program language applies, but the amendment does not itself create additional funding or eligibility.
Federal grant-making and program offices (e.g., Justice Department program managers): Must update statutory citations, guidance, solicitations, and administrative materials to reflect the new date range. This is a routine administrative update with minimal policy consequences.
Local governments and public safety stakeholders: May experience minor procedural updates in application materials or guidance but face no new obligations or costs from the amendment itself.
Overall effect: The amendment is procedural and administrative. It updates when a statutory reference applies (shifting the covered years forward) without changing substantive program rules, funding amounts, or imposing new mandates. Any downstream operational effect depends on how agencies and program administrators interpret or apply the updated date in their existing rules, grant cycles, or guidance.
