Law-Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act
This bill removes less-than-lethal projectile devices (e.g., certain TASERs) from regulation under the Gun Control Act. The term less-than-lethal projectile device means a device that (1) is not designed or intended to expel (and may not be readily converted to discharge) commonly used ammunition or projectiles exceeding a velocity of 500 feet per second; (2) is designed and intended to be used in a manner not likely to cause death or serious bodily injury; and (3) does not accept (and cannot be readily modified to accept) an ammunition feeding device. The bill also requires the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to determine whether a device satisfies the definition of a less-than-lethal projectile device within 90 days of a request.

The current version adds an entirely new section creating a tax exemption for less-than-lethal projectile devices under federal excise tax laws, requiring the Secretary of the Treasury to maintain and annually update lists of approved devices and report to Congress. The current version also exempts these devices from the National Firearms Act, whereas the previous version only addressed their exemption from federal firearms regulations. These additions represent a significant expansion of the bill's scope beyond the original focus on firearm classification definitions.
