This bill would prohibit the federal government from spending any money to finalize, implement, or enforce a new rule issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security at the Department of Commerce regarding firearms export licensing requirements. The rule in question was published in April 2024 and affects companies that export firearms and related equipment. By blocking federal funding for this rule, the legislation would effectively prevent the government from carrying out or enforcing the new licensing requirements. The bill targets businesses involved in lawful firearms exports, which supporters argue would otherwise face new regulatory burdens from the Department of Commerce rule.
