Clean Hands Firearm Procurement Act

# Clean Hands Firearm Procurement Act Summary **What the bill would do:** The Clean Hands Firearm Procurement Act would restrict the federal government from purchasing firearms or ammunition from companies that have been found liable in civil lawsuits related to gun violence. In practical terms, this means the government could only buy weapons from manufacturers and dealers with clean legal records regarding gun-related damages or injuries. **Who it affects:** The bill primarily affects federal agencies that purchase firearms (such as law enforcement and military agencies) and the firearms industry.

It could also indirectly impact gun manufacturers by potentially reducing a revenue stream from government contracts if they face civil liability lawsuits. **Current status:** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. No additional details about specific provisions or timeline for action are available at this time.
