S 909 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Tribal Firearm Access Act

S 909, the Tribal Firearm Access Act, allows members of federally recognized tribes to use their tribal government-issued ID documents when purchasing firearms from federally licensed dealers. This bill amends federal law to accept tribal IDs as valid identification, replacing the current requirement for state-issued IDs. It specifically applies to tribal members whose tribes are listed under the 1994 Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List Act. The change streamlines firearm purchases for tribal members without altering gun ownership laws or safety standards. The law takes effect 90 days after enactment.
