SASS Act

Sponsored By: Representative Moskowitz, Jared [D-FL-23]

Introduced

Summary

Single, unified application for school safety grants. This bill would let one application cover grants authorized under the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Director and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Director for school security programs. It preserves existing grant authorities and does not create new funding or eligibility rules.

Show full summary
  • Applicants: Would allow a single submission for grants that fall under the two program authorities, cutting duplicate paperwork and simplifying the process for entities applying for school safety funds.
  • Grant administrators: Would require the COPS Director or the BJA Director to provide technical assistance to help applicants complete the unified application.

One application for school safety grants

If enacted, the Attorney General would set up one application for school safety grants under two DOJ programs. Schools and local police could use one form when a project fits both the COPS and BJA programs. COPS or BJA staff would provide technical help to finish the application. This would not change who qualifies or how much money is available. It would start upon enactment.
