DHS Better Ballistic Body Armor Act

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to procure ballistic body armor specifically designed for female agents and officers, ensuring proper fit and coverage to prevent bullets from redirecting toward the throat or spine. Key provisions mandate armor meeting ASTM standards, passing NIJ tests using female-shaped molds, and including angled shot testing to address fit risks unique to women. DHS components must report annually on armor issuance to female personnel, including compliance rates by location, with full implementation required within three years. The law directly affects all female DHS agents and officers requiring body armor for duty, aiming to improve safety through tailored equipment standards.
