Summary

Updates federal authorization for grants to place school resource officers in K–12 schools by replacing an old 2006–2009 funding authorization with a new one that covers fiscal years 2026–2035. It continues the program framework under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. The measure authorizes, but does not appropriate, funds; separate annual appropriations would still be needed. It also inserts new language in a related provision, but the exact text is not provided, so any changes to eligibility, matching, or allowable uses are unclear.

Key Points

• Updates the authorization for school resource officer grants to cover FY2026–2035.
• Replaces an outdated FY2006–2009 funding authorization with a new dollar amount (amount not provided).
• Inserts additional language in a related provision, but the exact wording is unavailable.
• Authorizes but does not appropriate funds; future appropriations would be required.
• Targets K–12 school safety through support for school resource officers.
• Likely continues to route funds through the existing Safe Streets Act grant framework (e.g., via DOJ-administered programs).
• No changes to taxes or the tax code.
• No explicit mandates on states or localities identified in the available text.
