Bill Summary

A BILL To abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), a federal law enforcement agency responsible for regulating and investigating crimes related to firearms, explosives, arson, and the illegal trafficking of alcohol and tobacco products. The bill is straightforward, containing just two sections: the first establishes the short title as the "Abolish the ATF Act," and the second directly states that the ATF is hereby abolished. If passed, this legislation would eliminate the federal agency, which would likely require redistributing its current regulatory and investigative responsibilities to other federal law enforcement agencies such as the FBI or Department of Justice. The bill does not provide details about the transition process or how the agency's current functions would be managed after its abolishment.
