LEOSA Reform Act

The LEOSA Reform Act, also known as Bill 118 s 1462, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The bill aims to reform the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA), which allows qualified current and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms across state lines.

The LEOSA Reform Act seeks to expand the rights of law enforcement officers by allowing them to carry concealed firearms in more locations, including on school grounds and in federal facilities. The bill also aims to streamline the process for obtaining LEOSA credentials and ensure that officers are properly trained in the use of firearms.

Additionally, the LEOSA Reform Act includes provisions to address issues related to mental health and domestic violence among law enforcement officers. The bill would require agencies to provide mental health services to officers and establish a reporting system for officers who have been involved in domestic violence incidents. Overall, the LEOSA Reform Act is designed to enhance the safety and well-being of law enforcement officers while also ensuring that they have the necessary tools to protect themselves and others in the line of duty. The bill is currently under review in Congress and has garnered bipartisan support for its efforts to improve the LEOSA program.
