Tell Congress to pass H.R. 354/S. 1462
The "LEOSA Reform Act"
The FOP continues to fight to get important changes made to the existing Law Enforcement Officers’ Safety Act (LEOSA) statute (18 USC 926B and 926C), also known to many law enforcement officers as "H.R. 218."
This bill would extend the LEOSA exemption to apply to the Gun-Free School Zones Act, national parks and certain Federal buildings like post offices or Social Security Administration buildings. The bill would also extend the exemption to magazines so that officers are not exposed to legal jeopardy in States that have limitations on the number of rounds or capacity of a magazine.
Given that this is an important officer safety issue, the FOP has been waging a very targeted lobbying campaign, going after Members of Congress one at a time to build support and educate the staff. Our success, however, comes down to YOU! Please get in touch with each of your Members of Congress and ask them to support the LEOSA Reform Act!
