Bill Summary
AN ACT To allow Federal law enforcement officers to purchase retired service weapons, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a program allowing federal law enforcement officers to purchase their retired service weapons under specific conditions. The Administrator of General Services must create this program within one year of the bill's enactment, enabling current and retired federal law enforcement officers to buy their previously issued firearms. Officers can only purchase their retired weapon during a six-month window after retirement and must be in good standing with their agency. The firearms will be sold at their "salvage value," which represents the weapon's worth based on its age and condition. The bill provides precise definitions for key terms like "federal law enforcement officer" (which includes retired officers) and "firearm" (excluding certain automatic weapons), and ensures that the purchase process is structured and controlled. The legislation aims to provide law enforcement officers with an opportunity to retain a personal connection to a service weapon they may have used throughout their career, while also establishing a clear, regulated mechanism for such transactions.
