This bill would convert Executive Order 13809 into permanent federal law. That executive order, originally issued in 2017, restored state, tribal, and local law enforcement agencies' access to military equipment and resources that had been restricted under a previous administration. The legislation would prevent any future president from reinstating or creating a similar order that would again limit police access to this equipment. The bill does not establish new funding or programs, as it simply codifies an existing executive action into law. Once enacted, the provisions would remain in effect unless Congress passes a subsequent law to modify or repeal them.
