Bill overview
This bill, the Tribal Firearm Access Act, aims to expand firearm access for members of federally recognized Native American tribes. It allows individuals to use valid identification documents issued by their tribal governments – rather than solely federal IDs – when purchasing firearms from licensed dealers. The bill modifies existing federal law to include tribal government identification as a valid form of identification for firearm purchases. It also defines ‘Tribal government’ for legal purposes.
