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 for federal law enforcement officers. This legislation addresses the need for officers to acquire their own firearms, thereby enhancing their operational readiness and ensuring they have access to weapons that meet their personal preferences and needs.

Key Provisions:

  • The bill authorizes federal law enforcement officers to purchase their service weapons upon retirement or separation from service. This provision allows retiring officers to retain the firearms they have been trained to use, promoting continuity and safety in their transition to civilian life.
  • The legislation establishes a framework for the purchase process, including stipulations regarding the types of weapons eligible for purchase and the conditions under which the transactions may occur.

Funding and Authorities: While the bill does not allocate specific funding, it mandates the relevant federal agencies to develop guidelines and procedures for the implementation of the weapon purchase program. The bill places oversight responsibilities on the Department of Justice and other pertinent federal law enforcement agencies.

Affected Programs and Agencies: The primary agencies impacted by this legislation include the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and other federal law enforcement entities. These agencies will be responsible for executing the provisions of the bill and ensuring compliance with the established guidelines.

Beneficiaries and Regulation: The primary beneficiaries of HR 3091 are federal law enforcement officers who will have the opportunity to purchase their service weapons upon retirement. This legislation also indirectly benefits the public by ensuring that experienced officers retain familiarity with their firearms, potentially enhancing community safety.

Key Timelines: As of the latest action, HR 3091 has been received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration. The bill’s progress will determine the timeline for potential enactment and implementation.
