Bill > HR543

This bill, known as the Iron Pipeline Review Act, requires the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to produce an annual comprehensive report about firearms trafficking along Interstate 95 (commonly referred to as the "Iron Pipeline" due to the high volume of illegal gun transfers). Within one year of enactment and annually thereafter, the ATF Director must submit a report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees that includes a detailed analysis of firearms trafficked along the corridor, specifying the state of origin, make and model of firearms, an evaluation of current counter-trafficking measures, and an examination of local, state, and federal laws impacting firearms trafficking. The report must also include recommendations for law enforcement entities to improve trafficking prevention strategies and propose potential legislative actions and funding needed to enhance anti-trafficking efforts. By mandating this annual review, the bill aims to provide lawmakers and law enforcement with crucial data to better understand and address illegal firearms movement along this major transportation route.
