RRLEF Act of 2025
The RRLEF Act of 2025 requires applicants for Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program funds to certify they do not purchase firearms from "covered licensed dealers." A "covered dealer" is defined as one traced with 25+ firearms used in crimes within two of the last three years. The bill mandates the ATF publicly publish an annual list of these dealers and notify law enforcement if their transferred firearms are used in crimes. This directly affects state/local law enforcement agencies seeking federal grant funding by restricting their firearm purchasing options.
