HR 7698 United States House · 119th Congress

Tribal Firearm Access Act

This bill, known as the Tribal Firearm Access Act, would allow members of federally recognized Tribes to use their Tribal government identification documents instead of state-issued IDs when purchasing firearms from federally licensed dealers. The legislation amends federal law to officially recognize Tribal government IDs as valid forms of identification for firearm transactions, while defining "Tribal government" to include the governing bodies of federally recognized Indian and Alaska Native Tribes. The changes would take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted, directly affecting Tribal members seeking to exercise their right to purchase firearms under current federal regulations.
