Bill overview
The Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act aims to limit the transfer of military-grade equipment to local law enforcement agencies. It restricts the types of weapons and equipment that can be transferred, requires agencies to certify their ability to operate the equipment, and mandates annual reporting on property transfers. Furthermore, the bill restricts the use of Homeland Security preparedness and Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance grant funds for certain military-style equipment and requires a review of prior equipment receipt before awarding grants. Finally, it directs the Comptroller General to report on specialized law enforcement units utilizing military-style training and equipment.
