Plain Language Summary

# LEOSA Reform Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The LEOSA Reform Act would modify the Law Enforcement Officers' Safety Act (LEOSA), a federal law that allows active and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms across state lines. This bill specifically addresses restrictions on where officers can carry weapons, focusing on access to federal buildings and facilities. The exact provisions would adjust current regulations that limit firearms in certain government spaces. **Who It Affects** This bill primarily affects active and retired law enforcement officers, as well as federal building security policies. It could also impact federal agencies that manage building access and security protocols.

The changes would apply nationwide, since LEOSA is a federal law. **Current Status** As of now, the bill (S 679) remains in committee and has not advanced to a floor vote. This means it's still in the early stages of the legislative process. The bill was introduced by Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) in the 119th Congress, but no action has been taken yet. *Note: For the most current status, check Congress.gov.*.
