While the specific limitations aren't detailed in the available information, the bill essentially gives the Secretary of Defense new guidelines about which agencies can receive military equipment and under what conditions. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects the Department of Defense and other government agencies that receive military equipment and supplies.

It could impact state and local law enforcement agencies, National Guard units, and other federal agencies that currently receive surplus or transferred Defense Department property. **Current Status** HR 7766 was introduced by Representative Hank Johnson (D-GA) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House.
