Plain-English Summary

The Department of Defense would be required to follow new rules about which military equipment and property it can give to police departments, state agencies, and other government organizations. The bill aims to limit or control these transfers of military gear, though the specific restrictions aren't detailed in the available information. This would affect how local law enforcement and state agencies obtain surplus military equipment.
