Latest action on H.R. 45: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects companies that want federal contracts and businesses tied to firearms or ammunition. Contractors would have to check their policies before bidding or signing many federal contracts. Firearm businesses and trade groups could gain stronger protection from industry-based refusals by federal contractors. Executive branch agencies would have to add and enforce the new contract terms.

Why this matters: This bill could change real business choices for companies that want federal work. A bank, insurer, vendor, or other company may need to review policies that treat firearm-related customers differently. The bill aims to protect lawful firearm businesses from broad industry bans. It could also make some companies rethink whether federal contracts are worth changing their policies.

Key provisions in H.R. 45

• Executive agencies would have to add this promise to most buying contracts. The main contractor must say it has no policy that discriminates against firearm businesses or firearm trade groups, and will not adopt one during the contract.
• Prime contractors could not give large first-level subcontracts to companies that refuse the same promise. This applies when the subcontract is worth more than 10 percent of the main contract.
• Prime contractors could not use extra subcontract layers to avoid the 10 percent rule. The rule targets workarounds that shift major work to lower-level subcontractors.
• If a prime contractor breaks the promise, the government must end the contract for default. It must also start suspension or debarment proceedings, which can block future federal contracts.
• Sole-source contracts would not have to include this non-discrimination promise. A sole-source contract is one where the government uses a supplier without regular competition.
