Law-Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate ActThis bill removes less-than-lethal projectile devices (e.g., certain TASE Rs) from regulation under the Gun Control Act.

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.
