Bill Summary
A bill to allow Federal law enforcement officers to purchase retired service weapons, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act of 2026," allows federal law enforcement officers to purchase firearms that have been retired from service. Within one year of the bill becoming law, the Administrator of General Services must create a program for this purpose. Officers can buy these retired firearms, which are defined as any firearm declared surplus by the agency, during a six-month window after they are retired, provided they are in good standing with their employing or former agency. The purchase price will be the "salvage value," meaning the expected amount obtained when the firearm is disposed of at the end of its useful life, taking into account its age and condition. A "Federal law enforcement officer" is defined broadly to include retired officers, and "firearm" is defined according to existing federal law, excluding certain machine guns.
