## Summary

**Gio's Law would create a federal grant program to expand law enforcement access to emergency epinephrine and standardize officer training.** It pairs equipment and training with liability protections, data collection, and a public outreach campaign. - State, local, and tribal law enforcement officers would get epinephrine products and required training to recognize and treat anaphylaxis. Officers would also have a state attorney general certification protecting them from civil liability when authorized to administer epinephrine. - States and units of local government could apply for grants from the Attorney General to buy epinephrine products and fund training. The program is authorized at $25 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. - The Bureau of Justice Statistics would collect and publish annual data on epinephrine administrations by law enforcement. The Attorney General and the Department of Health and Human Services would run a public awareness campaign within 180 days to educate about anaphylaxis and responder roles. *This would authorize $25 million per year from 2026 through 2030, increasing federal spending by that amount.*
