Summary
Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives relating to "Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached 'Stabilizing Braces'".
Plain-language summary
This bill uses a congressional procedure called the Congressional Review Act to block a federal rule from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives about firearms with stabilizing braces. A stabilizing brace is a device attached to a gun to make it easier to hold and aim. The ATF rule changed how federal agents decide if these braces make a firearm illegal under gun regulations. If passed, the bill would prevent this rule from taking effect or stay in effect. The bill has passed the House of Representatives and awaits Senate action.
