Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This bill would prohibit the federal government from using any taxpayer money to finalize, implement, or enforce a rule issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security on April 26, 2024, that strengthens controls on the export of firearms and related items. The rule in question was designed to enhance oversight of firearm exports and advance human rights protections. By cutting off federal funding, the bill would effectively block the government from carrying out this regulation. The legislation was introduced by a bipartisan group of House Republicans in May 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. The bill would apply immediately upon passage with no specified timeline or funding amount, since its purpose is to prevent spending rather than allocate it.
