Bill overview
The Constitutional Hearing Protection Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to remove silencers from the definition of firearms, effectively exempting them from certain gun control regulations. It clarifies registration and licensing requirements for silencers under the National Firearms Act and preempts state laws that impose taxes or registration requirements on silencers. The bill also directs the destruction of existing silencer registration records and updates definitions related to firearms and silencers within the relevant sections of Title 18 of the U.S. Code.
