Prevent BLEEDing Act of 2019

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Prevent Blood Loss with Emergency Equipment Devices Act of 2019 or the Prevent BLEEDing Act of 2019

This bill authorizes the use of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grant funds for certain anti-blood loss purposes.

Specifically, a grant under the Urban Area Security Initiative or the State Homeland Security Grant Program may be used

to purchase or distribute anti-blood loss supplies (tourniquets, gauze, dressings, or other appropriate materials) for use in medical emergencies in places where people gather;
to provide training on the proper use of anti-blood loss supplies to enhance public safety; or
to make grants to an eligible entity for such purposes.

DHS shall (1) allocate such funds by a formula developed by DHS that takes into consideration the relative populations of each geographic area for which a grant is made; and (2) conduct outreach to inform state, local, and tribal governments and high-risk urban areas that apply for grants under that initiative or program of the availability of funds under this bill.
