The creation of a three-digit gun violence intervention hotline.

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to the creation of a three-digit gun violence intervention hotline

This bill would require the office for neighborhood safety and the prevention of gun violence to establish a three-digit emergency hotline, known as the gun violence intervention hotline, to aid individuals seeking assistance with mental health and supportive services and programs related to gun violence intervention. The office would also be required to carry out a public awareness campaign, targeted at young adults, to inform residents about the hotline and submit annual reports to evaluate whether the hotline has been effective at coordinating services for gun violence intervention.
