More Gear for Police: Easier Access to Lifesaving Equipment.

This act aims to facilitate local law enforcement agencies' access to federal equipment, including military gear, which can be used for lifesaving purposes.

Key points
Removes restrictions on the sale, donation, or transfer of federal property, including military surplus, to local law enforcement.
Prohibits the use of federal funds to enforce regulations that limit access to such equipment.
Requires the return or re-issuance of equipment recalled or seized from police after May 15, 2015.
The President cannot reinstate similar executive orders limiting equipment transfers.
