What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill directs the Department of Health Services to establish a program to

distribute funds to local health departments or tribal health centers that apply to

conduct violence prevention programs or to award grants to organizations to conduct

violence prevention programs. Under the bill, the amounts collected from the excise

taxes on vapor products are appropriated to fund the grants. The bill prohibits local

health departments and tribal health centers from distributing grant funds under

the program to a law enforcement agency, tribal law enforcement agency, or any

entity that provides services in conjunction with or through a law enforcement

agency or tribal law enforcement agency. The bill increases the number of authorized

DHS positions by one position in fiscal year 2023-24 for administration of the

program and also increases funding to DHS for this position.
