What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Single Application for School Safety Act" or the "SASS Act," aims to change how school security grants are requested. It allows a single application to be submitted to either the COPS Director or the BJA Director for the matching grant program. The bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to include this multipurpose application process. Additionally, it mandates that the COPS Director or the BJA Director provide technical assistance to those applying for these grants.
