One year after 10 people were killed inside a Boulder King Soopers, Congressman Joe Neguse is set to unveil legislation aimed at expanding worker safety, increasing mental health and trauma support & providing preventative security measures to workplaces.

The package features four bills — the Help for Healing Communities Act, the STOP Violence Act, the Safe Workplaces Act and the Prioritizing Resources for Victims of Firearm Violence.

The STOP Violence Act would provide federal funding for preventative security measures at active shooter sites and public assembly facilities. Public agencies, US Attorney's offices, higher education institutions and victim services organizations are able to receive funding from the Department of Justice's anti-terrorism and emergency funding program if an act of of terrorism or mass violence occurs.

The Prioritizing Resources for Victims of Firearm Violence Act would designate victims of firearm violence and their families as high priority through the Victims of Crime Act , which provides funding to those affected.
