US SB1595

Amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to establish performance standards for trauma kits purchased with Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program funds

Requires the Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance to develop and publish trauma kit standards within 180 days, in consultation with trauma surgeons, emergency medical professionals, and law enforcement organizations

Mandates trauma kits include specific components: a tourniquet recommended by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care, bleeding control bandage, nonlatex gloves, pen marker, blunt-ended scissors, instructional documents, and a storage container

Permits grantees to separately acquire and assemble trauma kit components rather than purchasing pre-made kits, provided the assembled kit meets performance standards

Directs development of optional best practices for law enforcement agencies on officer training, deployment and maintenance of trauma kits in vehicles, and placement in government facilities
