Bill > HR7698

This bill, titled the Tribal Firearm Access Act, aims to allow members of federally recognized Tribes to use their Tribal government identification documents when purchasing firearms from federally licensed firearms dealers. Currently, federal law requires specific forms of identification for such purchases, and this legislation proposes to amend existing law, specifically Section 922(t)(1)(D) of title 18 of the United States Code, by adding "or a valid identification document issued by a Tribal government" to the list of acceptable identification. The bill also defines "Tribal government" to mean the recognized governing body of any Indian or Alaska Native Tribe listed by the federal government, ensuring clarity on which tribal identifications will be accepted. This change is intended to provide greater access to firearms for tribal members by recognizing their official identification.
