S. 3514 proposes to exempt certain less-than-lethal weapons from federal firearms taxes and regulations under the National Firearms Act. The bill defines qualifying devices as those incapable of firing conventional ammunition, designed not to cause death or serious injury, and unable to accept standard firearm magazine feeding systems. The legislation affects manufacturers, producers, and importers of these devices, who may request classification determinations from the Treasury Secretary within 90 days. The bill requires the Treasury Secretary to maintain and update public lists of approved less-than-lethal devices annually and to submit annual reports to Congress about devices considered for inclusion. The exemptions take effect immediately upon enactment, applying to devices sold after the law passes.
