Bill overview
This bill, the Law Enforcement Protection and Privacy Act of 2025, aims to strengthen accountability for unauthorized disclosures of firearm trace data. It amends the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to explicitly include certain Firearms Trace System database information and licensee reporting in disclosures. The bill also establishes fines and potential loss of access for entities that violate federal law regarding the disclosure of this data, and creates a private right of action for licensed entities harmed by such disclosures, allowing them to seek significant damages and attorney’s fees.
