Law Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act

This bill exempts specific less-than-lethal projectile devices (like certain beanbag rounds or rubber bullets) from federal firearm restrictions, taxes, and the National Firearms Act. It defines these devices as those firing at under 500 feet per second and designed not to cause death or serious injury. The exemption applies to manufacturers, importers, and law enforcement agencies purchasing or using these devices, removing tax burdens and regulatory hurdles. The law directly affects law enforcement agencies that use such tools and the companies that produce them. It makes these devices legally distinct from traditional firearms under federal law.
