The main purpose of this legislation, known as the Advancing Gun Safety Technology Act, is to establish a pilot program that will provide financial support for the development of technology aimed at improving gun safety. The goal is to create innovations that reduce the chances of guns being used accidentally or by individuals who are not authorized to use them. Key provisions of the act include the authorization for the Attorney General to oversee the pilot program, which will grant funds to eligible entities, specifically small businesses with fewer than 500 employees.
