Why It Matters

This bill affects local law enforcement agencies, which would no longer receive certain types of military equipment from the federal government, and communities, which may see a reduction in the use of military-grade equipment by police. It also impacts the Department of Defense, which would need to recall and repossess already-transferred equipment.
