Table of Contents
Senators introduced the Ride in Freedom Act in the U.S. Senate. The bill was read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. It is not law.
Why it matters: This is a procedural step in the legislative process. The bill has just been introduced and referred to committee, meaning it has not been debated or voted on. It is unlikely to become law without significant committee review and floor action, but it signals a legislative intent to change federal aviation security rules regarding checked baggage.
Who it affects
- Passengers who travel by domestic commercial air and wish to transport firearms.
