Summary of Bill HR 10322

Bill 118 hr 10322, also known as the "Female Body Armor Improvement Act," aims to enhance the effectiveness of body armor provided to female agents and officers within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The bill recognizes that the current body armor issued to female personnel may not provide adequate protection due to differences in body shape and size compared to male counterparts.

The legislation seeks to address this issue by requiring the DHS to conduct a comprehensive review of the body armor currently issued to female agents and officers. This review will assess the fit, comfort, and level of protection provided by the body armor, with the goal of identifying any necessary improvements.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the DHS develop and implement a plan to ensure that female personnel have access to properly fitting body armor that meets their unique needs. This plan will include considerations for different body shapes and sizes, as well as any specific requirements for female agents and officers. Overall, the Female Body Armor Improvement Act aims to prioritize the safety and well-being of female personnel within the DHS by ensuring that they have access to high-quality body armor that effectively protects them in the line of duty.
