The Restoring Trust in Public Safety Act authorizes the Attorney General to award competitive grants totaling $15 million annually (through fiscal year 2031) to states, tribal governments, and local law enforcement agencies to support firearm destruction programs. Eligible recipients can use grant funds to purchase destruction equipment, contract with destruction service providers, and train staff, with no more than 10 percent of funds going to administrative costs. Grantees must develop written policies documenting the complete destruction of firearms and all components, maintain detailed records, and provide proof of destruction to the Attorney General. The bill prioritizes funding for small urban and rural areas by setting aside one-third of total appropriations for those applicants, and allows states and tribes receiving grants to provide subgrants to local governments and law enforcement agencies.
