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 recognizes the need for law enforcement personnel to have access to reliable and effective firearms for their duties, enhancing their ability to perform their roles safely and effectively.

Key Provisions: HR 3091 authorizes federal law enforcement officers to purchase their service weapons directly from their employing agency or through designated vendors. The bill outlines that the purchase can occur upon retirement or separation from service, allowing officers to retain their issued firearms, subject to compliance with federal and state laws.

Funding and Authorities: The bill does not allocate specific funding but relies on existing appropriations for federal law enforcement agencies to facilitate the purchase process. Agencies are expected to implement the provisions within their current budgets and operational frameworks.

Programs or Agencies Affected: The primary agencies impacted by this legislation include the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and other federal law enforcement entities. The bill also indirectly affects state and local law enforcement agencies by establishing a precedent for similar policies.

Beneficiaries and Regulation: The primary beneficiaries of HR 3091 are federal law enforcement officers who wish to retain their service weapons post-employment. The bill aims to enhance the safety and preparedness of these officers by allowing them to maintain access to firearms they are trained to use. The legislation does not impose additional regulations on the officers but ensures compliance with existing firearm laws.

Key Timelines: HR 3091 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 remains contingent on committee review and subsequent legislative processes.
