Plain-English Summary

This bill would provide tax incentives and modernize tax rules for companies that develop and manufacture less-lethal weapons and de-escalation equipment used by law enforcement and security personnel. The changes would make it easier for these companies to invest in research and production by offering tax breaks or other financial benefits. The goal is to encourage innovation in non-lethal alternatives that police and security forces can use instead of traditional weapons.
