A bill to amend title 18, United States Code, to provide that the prohibition on the possession of firearms and ammunition by certain aliens shall apply with respect to the use of firearms and ammunition by government entities.

# Summary of S 3909 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would modify existing federal firearms law to clarify that restrictions on firearm and ammunition possession by certain non-citizens also apply to government agencies and entities. Currently, federal law prohibits certain categories of aliens (non-citizens) from possessing firearms and ammunition. This bill would extend those same restrictions to prevent government agencies from providing or using firearms and ammunition in ways that involve these restricted non-citizens. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The bill would primarily affect government agencies that employ or work with non-citizens, as well as non-citizens themselves.

It was introduced by Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. Without additional details on the bill's specific language, the precise scope of which government entities and scenarios would be affected remains unclear from this summary alone.
