Stop the BIS RULE Act

S 4468, the "Stop the BIS RULE Act," blocks federal funding for the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to finalize, implement, or enforce a specific 2024 rule about firearms licensing. The bill directly targets the April 30, 2024, rule (published as 89 Fed. Reg. 34680) that revised requirements for firearm export licenses. It prevents the use of any federal funds to advance this particular regulation, effectively halting its implementation without changing the underlying rule itself.
