Bill Analysis

Bill Summary: HR 3091 - Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act

The Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act (HR 3091) aims to facilitate the purchase of service weapons by federal law enforcement officers. The bill allows eligible officers to buy their service weapons at a discounted price upon retirement or separation from service, thereby promoting continuity and personal ownership of the equipment they have been trained to use.

Key Provisions:

  • The bill authorizes the head of each federal law enforcement agency to establish a program that enables officers to purchase their issued service weapons.
  • The purchase price will be set at a fair market value determined by the respective agency, ensuring that officers can acquire their weapons at a reasonable cost.
  • The legislation stipulates that the program must be implemented in a manner that maintains the integrity of the agency’s inventory and does not compromise public safety.

Funding and Authorities:

  • HR 3091 does not allocate specific funding; rather, it relies on existing agency budgets to manage the implementation of the purchase program.
  • Each agency will have the authority to determine the logistics and procedures for the sale of service weapons.

Affected Programs and Agencies:

  • The bill impacts all federal law enforcement agencies, including but not limited to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and U.S. Secret Service.
  • It directly benefits federal law enforcement officers who are retiring or separating from service, allowing them to retain their service weapons for personal use.

Key Timelines:

  • The bill was introduced in the House and has been received in the Senate, where it has been read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration. The timeline for further action will depend on the committee’s review and subsequent legislative processes.

In summary, HR 3091 seeks to empower federal law enforcement officers by allowing them to purchase their service weapons, thereby enhancing their transition to civilian life while maintaining agency oversight and public safety.
