Existing federal law authorizes the United States Department of Defense to transfer surplus personal property, including arms and ammunition, to federal or state agencies for use in law enforcement activities, subject to specified conditions, at no cost to the acquiring agency. Existing law requires a law enforcement agency to adopt a military equipment use policy, as specified, before obtaining military equipment.

Existing law defines military equipment for purposes of these provisions. This bill would replace certain devices referred to in this definition by a specific trade name with a general description of those devices.
