Grant funding for bodega security

If enacted, this bill would let small bodegas (NAICS 445131) apply for federal Byrne-JAG grants. The money could help pay to install panic buttons and surveillance equipment (like cameras) in your store. You would apply through the existing Byrne-JAG process run by your state or local agency. Awards would depend on available funding; the bill does not add new dollars. The change would take effect upon enactment.
