AI Summary
This bill, the LEOSA Reform Act of 2024, aims to improve the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act (LEOSA) and provisions related to the carrying of concealed weapons by law enforcement officers. The key provisions of the bill are:
1. It amends the Gun-Free School Zones Act to allow individuals authorized under LEOSA to carry concealed firearms in school zones.
2. It expands LEOSA to apply to any federal law or regulation, not just state or local laws. It also clarifies that LEOSA applies on property used for public transportation or open to the public, even if a fee is charged.
3. It broadens the definition of "standards for qualification in firearms training" under LEOSA to include standards set by the individual's former agency, the state, any law enforcement agency in the state, or any certified firearms instructor in the state.
4. It allows qualified current and retired law enforcement officers to carry firearms in Facility Security Level I or II civilian public access federal facilities, which are open to the general public.
