HR 2255 Passed House — in Senate

Sponsored by Russell Fry (R)

Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act of 2025

Lets federal law enforcement officers buy their retired service weapons at salvage value.

Tradeoff

Allows officers to purchase firearms they were issued, sold at salvage value based on age and condition. No apparent fiscal cost or offset mentioned in the bill.

What's in it

See official bill text

Negligible cost: less than $500,000 in administrative expenses over 2025-2030, offset by potential receipts exceeding $500,000 from handgun sales over 2025-2035.

The $500,000 is just the federal cost to administer the program—the policy's actual impact is allowing federal law enforcement officers to buy their retired service weapons at salvage value, which generates small receipts back to the Treasury.
