Bill > S2192

This bill, called the "Clean Hands Firearm Procurement Act," requires the Attorney General to publish an annual list of "covered firearms dealers," which are licensed gun dealers who have had at least 25 firearms traced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) with a "time-to-crime" of 3 years or less in at least 2 of the past 3 calendar years. "Time-to-crime" is defined as the period between a firearm's retail sale and its recovery by law enforcement in connection with a crime. Once a dealer is on this list, federal agencies are prohibited from entering into contracts with them during the current and following two calendar years. The bill provides a national security waiver for this prohibition, which can be requested by the Secretaries of Defense or Homeland Security, with the Attorney General having the authority to grant such waivers. If a waiver is granted, the Attorney General must notify the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. The provisions of the bill will take effect 180 days after its enactment, giving federal agencies and firearms dealers time to adjust to the new requirements.
