H.R.7766

Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act restricts military equipment transfers to law enforcement agencies.

The Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act aims to limit the transfer of military equipment to law enforcement agencies. It mandates that the Secretary of Defense submit annual certifications to Congress detailing the transfer of controlled property, including specifics on the type, recipient, and monetary value. The bill prohibits the transfer of certain items, such as controlled firearms, ammunition, and explosives, to federal and state agencies. It also requires law enforcement agencies to return property if they demonstrate 100 percent accountability or if their eligibility is suspended.
