HR 2243 United States House · 119th Congress

LEOSA Reform Act

HR 2243, the LEOSA Reform Act, updates the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act to clarify and expand firearm carry rights for qualified current and retired law enforcement officers. It modifies training requirements to allow officers to meet standards set by their former agency, their state, any local agency in their state, or a certified instructor within the state. The bill also adds exceptions for transportation property and public spaces when applying state laws, and permits qualified officers to carry concealed firearms in certain federal facilities (Security Level I/II civilian public access facilities). These changes aim to provide clearer, more flexible standards for firearm carry while maintaining existing safety frameworks.
