Bill > HR2654

This bill, known as the Lifesaving Gear for Police Act of 2025, aims to remove restrictions on law enforcement agencies' ability to acquire federal equipment, specifically targeting regulations implemented through Executive Orders 13688 and 14074. The bill invalidates any regulations, rules, guidance, policies, or recommendations issued after May 15, 2015, that limit the sale, donation, or transfer of federal property (including excess Department of Defense equipment) to state and local law enforcement agencies, unless those regulations are explicitly enacted into law by Congress. Federal agencies are prohibited from using funds to enforce such regulations, and the President is prevented from reinstating or creating similar executive orders about equipment transfers. Additionally, the bill requires that any equipment previously recalled or seized under these regulations must be returned, replaced, or re-issued to the original agency at no cost, provided the agency requests the return and meets the existing legal conditions for equipment transfer. This legislation effectively seeks to restore and protect law enforcement agencies' access to federal equipment that may have been restricted by recent executive actions.
