Explanation of H. R. 45 in Layman's Terms
This bill aims to prevent the Federal Government from making contracts with companies that discriminate against the firearm and ammunition industry. It states that any company wanting to work with the government must not have policies or practices that discriminate against firearm-related businesses or associations. If a company violates this rule, their contract can be terminated, and they may face penalties such as suspension or debarment.
Short Title: Firearm Industry Non-Discrimination Act
Prohibition on Entering into Contracts: This section outlines the rules that companies must follow to work with the government, including not discriminating against firearm-related entities. It also includes definitions for terms like "discriminate," "firearm entity," and "firearm trade association."
Application: These rules apply to contracts awarded after the bill is enacted.
