The Resources for Victims of Gun Violence Act of 2021 (S. 556) is a proposed piece of legislation introduced in the United States Senate with the aim of establishing a national advisory council dedicated to studying and recommending strategies for supporting victims of gun violence. Officially introduced on March 3, 2021, by Senator Robert P. Casey Jr., a Democrat from Pennsylvania, the bill gained the support of 16 co-sponsors, including prominent Democratic senators such as Edward J. Markey, Cory A. Booker, and Elizabeth Warren. The bill was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, where it currently awaits further action. Since its referral, no additional progress has been recorded. The purpose of this bill is to coordinate a comprehensive approach to assessing and addressing the needs of gun violence victims through data gathering, resource promotion, and reporting to Congress. It aligns with a broader effort to frame gun violence as a public health crisis and ensure long-term recovery and support for affected individuals and communities.
