Bill > S1436

This bill aims to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from purchasing, receiving, or storing firearms and ammunition. Specifically, the bill defines firearms and ammunition using existing legal definitions from Title 18 of the United States Code, and requires the IRS Commissioner to transfer all IRS-owned firearms and ammunition to the Administrator of General Services within 120 days of the Act's enactment. The Administrator must then initiate the sale of these firearms to licensed firearms dealers and auction the ammunition to the general public, with all proceeds going towards reducing the national deficit. Additionally, the bill transfers the administration and enforcement of criminal investigations related to internal revenue laws from the IRS to the Department of Justice, mandating that the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS be maintained as a distinct entity within the Justice Department's Criminal Division. The transfer of these investigative responsibilities will take effect 90 days after the Act's enactment, effectively removing law enforcement capabilities from the IRS and centralizing criminal tax investigations under the Attorney General's supervision.
