Summary
The Tribal Police Department Parity Act amends federal law so that Indian tribes and their police departments can receive, transport, and possess regulated firearms under the same exemptions that apply to federal, state, and local law‑enforcement agencies. It removes tribal agencies from the National Firearms Act tax and the Gun Control Act restrictions on interstate firearm shipments and post‑1986 machine guns. The change aims to provide equal access to necessary equipment for tribal law‑enforcement operations.
