Ban on Civilian Possession of Enhanced Body Armor
This bill proposes to prohibit civilians from purchasing, owning, or possessing enhanced body armor. This means that citizens will generally not be able to legally acquire or keep such equipment, unless specific exceptions apply. The aim is to enhance public safety by restricting access to high-level ballistic protection.
Key points
The ban applies to body armor, including helmets or shields, with ballistic resistance meeting or exceeding Type III armor standards set by the National Institute of Justice.
Exceptions include federal and state authorities, qualified law enforcement officers, and armor lawfully possessed before the law takes effect.
Violations can lead to fines, imprisonment for up to 10 years, or both.
