What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Innovate Less Lethal to De-Escalate Tax Modernization Act," aims to modernize the National Firearms Act by addressing advancements in technology and less-than-lethal weapons. It proposes amending the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to exempt certain less-than-lethal projectile devices and their cartridges from specific firearms and ammunition taxes. The bill defines these devices based on their inability to easily convert to lethal ammunition or high-velocity projectiles. It also establishes a process for the Secretary to classify these devices and maintain updated public lists. Additionally, the bill amends existing definitions to include these less-than-lethal devices.
