What this bill would do

The primary purpose is to reauthorize the public safety and community policing grant program. Specifically, it seeks to update the funding levels for the COPS on the Beat Grant Program. The amendment replaces previous fiscal year funding amounts with new amounts for the years 2026 through 2030.
