Bill > S428

This bill, the Firearm Industry Non-Discrimination Act (FIND Act), prohibits the federal government from entering into contracts with entities that discriminate against firearm or ammunition industries. The key provisions include: 1. Requiring federal agencies to include a clause in their contracts that prohibits contractors from having or adopting policies that discriminate against firearm entities (those licensed to import, manufacture, or deal in firearms) or firearm trade associations. 2. Prohibiting federal contractors from awarding subcontracts worth more than 10% of the total contract value to entities that do not certify they have no discriminatory policies against the firearm industry. 3. Providing that violations of these non-discrimination clauses will result in the termination of the contract and suspension or debarment of the contractor. 4. Defining "discriminate" to mean making judgments based on partial criteria or favoritism, refusing services, or limiting operations of firearm entities or trade associations, unless required by law or regulation. The bill aims to prevent federal agencies from engaging with entities that adopt policies unfavorable to the firearm and ammunition industries.
