Summary

Safe Homes-Safe Streets Act of 1999 - Authorizes the Attorney General to award grants to State or local governments to establish and implement Safe Homes-Safe Streets programs. Defines a "Safe Homes-Safe Streets program" as a program carried out by a State or local law enforcement agency under which the agency: (1) shall accept the voluntary surrender of firearms from individuals, provide gift certificates or other goods in exchange for firearms, provide cash in exchange for firearms (in a value not to exceed half of the estimated cost of a new similar firearm), or use any other innovative approach to cause a voluntary reduction in the number of firearms; (2) may conduct a criminal background check regarding the ownership of each firearm surrendered or offer amnesty from such background checks, to the extent that the policy regarding criminal background checks is uniformly applied; and (3) shall determine whether a surrendered firearm may potentially serve as evidence in any criminal investigation or prosecution and, if not, destroy it, or, if the firearm is a curio or relic or has historical significance, donate it to a State or local museum. (Sec. 4) Sets forth provisions regarding grant application requirements, distribution of grant awards, renewal of grants, and matching requirements. (Sec. 5) Authorizes appropriations.
