Project Safe Neighborhoods Reauthorization Act of 2025

# Project Safe Neighborhoods Reauthorization Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would reauthorize and continue funding for the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) program, a federal initiative that partners federal prosecutors with local law enforcement agencies to reduce violent crime in specific communities. The bill updates the original program created in 2001 by allocating resources for federal prosecutors to work with local police departments on prosecuting gun crimes, gang violence, and other serious offenses. **Who It Affects:** The bill impacts federal and local law enforcement agencies, federal prosecutors' offices, and communities experiencing high crime rates. It could also affect federal hiring and operations within the Department of Justice.

Communities that receive PSN resources would benefit from increased federal support in prosecuting violent crimes. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee (as of early 2025) and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. It was introduced by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX). Like most legislation, it would need to pass committee review, floor votes in both the Senate and House, and receive presidential approval before becoming law.
