Bill overview
This bill, the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Expansion Act, seeks to expand who can carry a concealed firearm. It amends existing federal law to include railroad police officers – those who work for state railroads – as qualified law enforcement officers. Specifically, it allows both active and retired railroad police officers to be eligible to carry concealed firearms, mirroring provisions for other law enforcement personnel. The bill aims to provide increased protection for these officers and potentially enhance public safety.
