$34 Million: State's Post-Sandy Hook Safety Price Tag

Connecticut's state legislature put more than $34 million over the next two years toward statewide responses to the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting, according to a report from Connecticut's Office of Financial Analysis released last week.

That's nearly $19 million in 2014 and more than $15 million in 2015. In January, a bipartisan task force of legislators began examining multiple areas -- specifically targeting mental health, gun violence and school safety -- in response to the shooting. For months, the task force consulted with experts from Newtown and across the country. The resulting $18.9 million package, signed by Gov. Dannel Malloy in April, is included in these totals.

Millions in planned funding went to programs from the state's Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and Department of Children and Families. The most heavily funded initiatives were based around mental health response to trauma, including an expansion of trauma-based therapy and the Active Community Treatment program.

Additionally, the Office of Financial Analysis report shows more than $2 million put toward gun safety, including $1.7 million for the Deadly Weapon Offender Registry. All told, the legislature allotted about $4.7 million to programs managed by Connecticut's Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.
