This bill aims to prohibit the use of federal funds to implement or enforce a new interim rule that tightens control over the export of firearms and related items. If passed, the government cannot spend money to enact these stricter regulations. This means current, potentially less restrictive, export rules for firearms will remain in effect, directly impacting businesses involved in international trade.
Key points
