Allow federal law enforcement officers to purchase their service weapons upon retirement.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act of 2025?
The effort to allow federal officers to buy their service weapons is stalled with the active bill S. 4117, which has seen no action since March 16, 2026. The Senate Judiciary Committee must act next, but the binding constraint is the need for 60 votes to advance legislation in the Senate. Historically, many bills that pass the House fail to move forward because the Senate often does not schedule them for a vote.
