HR 374 United States House · 118th Congress

Abolish the ATF Act

HR 374, titled the "Abolish the ATF Act," would eliminate the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) as a federal agency. This bill directly affects the ATF itself, ending its existence and all its current operations. The key provision is a single, straightforward legislative action to abolish the bureau, without specifying alternative agencies or processes for handling the functions it currently performs. The bill does not detail how firearm regulations, tobacco enforcement, or other ATF responsibilities would be managed after abolition.
