S 827 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to provide that no Federal funds may be used to implement, administer, or enforce the rule of the Department of Justice entitled "Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached 'Stabilizing Braces'".

This bill (S 827) prohibits the use of federal funds to implement, administer, or enforce a specific Department of Justice rule concerning firearms equipped with stabilizing braces. It directly affects the DOJ and federal agencies responsible for enforcing this rule, preventing them from using taxpayer money to carry out the regulation. The key mechanism is a funding restriction: federal money cannot be spent on any aspect of the rule's enforcement. This does not repeal the rule itself but blocks its practical application by cutting off financial resources.
