                Subtitle C--James Guelff Body Armor Act

     SEC. 441. SHORT TITLE.

       This subtitle may be cited as the ``James Guelff Body Armor 
     Act of 1999''.

     SEC. 442. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds that--
       (1) nationally, police officers and ordinary citizens are 
     facing increased danger as criminals use more deadly 
     weaponry, body armor, and other sophisticated assault gear;
       (2) crime at the local level is exacerbated by the 
     interstate movement of body armor and other assault gear;
       (3) there is a traffic in body armor moving in or otherwise 
     affecting interstate commerce, and existing Federal controls 
     over such traffic do not adequately enable the States to 
     control this traffic within their own borders through the 
     exercise of their police power;
       (4) recent incidents, such as the murder of San Francisco 
     Police Officer James Guelff by an assailant wearing 2 layers 
     of body armor and a 1997 bank shoot out in north Hollywood, 
     California, between police and 2 heavily armed suspects 
     outfitted in body armor, demonstrate the serious threat to 
     community safety posed by criminals who wear body armor 
     during the commission of a violent crime;
       (5) of the approximately 1,200 officers killed in the line 
     of duty since 1980, more than 30 percent could have been 
     saved by body armor, and the risk of dying from gunfire is 14 
     times higher for an officer without a bulletproof vest;
       (6) the Department of Justice has estimated that 25 percent 
     of State and local police are not issued body armor;
       (7) the Federal Government is well-equipped to grant local 
     police departments access to body armor that is no longer 
     needed by Federal agencies; and
       (8) Congress has the power, under the interstate commerce 
     clause and other provisions of the Constitution of the United 
     States, to enact legislation to regulate interstate commerce 
     that affects the integrity and safety of our communities.

     SEC. 443. DEFINITIONS.

       In this subtitle:
       (1) Body armor.--The term ``body armor'' means any product 
     sold or offered for sale, in interstate or foreign commerce, 
     as personal protective body covering intended to protect 
     against gunfire, regardless of whether the product is to be 
     worn alone or is sold as a complement to another product or 
     garment.
       (2) Law enforcement agency.--The term ``law enforcement 
     agency'' means an agency of the United States, a State, or a 
     political subdivision of a State, authorized by law or by a 
     government agency to engage in or supervise the prevention, 
     detection, investigation, or prosecution of any violation of 
     criminal law.
       (3) Law enforcement officer.--The term ``law enforcement 
     officer'' means any officer, agent, or employee of the United 
     States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State, 
     authorized by law or by a government agency to engage in or 
     supervise the prevention, detection, investigation, or 
     prosecution of any violation of criminal law.

     SEC. 444. AMENDMENT OF SENTENCING GUIDELINES WITH RESPECT TO 
                   BODY ARMOR.

       (a) Sentencing Enhancement.--The United States Sentencing 
     Commission shall amend the Federal sentencing guidelines to 
     provide an appropriate sentencing enhancement, increasing the 
     offense level not less than 2 levels, for any offense in 
     which the defendant used body armor.
       (b) Applicability.--No amendment made to the Federal 
     Sentencing Guidelines pursuant to this section shall apply if 
     the Federal offense in which the body armor is used 
     constitutes a violation of, attempted violation of, or 
     conspiracy to violate the civil rights of any person by a law 
     enforcement officer acting under color of the authority of 
     such law enforcement officer.

     SEC. 445. PROHIBITION OF PURCHASE, USE, OR POSSESSION OF BODY 
                   ARMOR BY VIOLENT FELONS.

       (a) Definition of Body Armor.--Section 921 of title 18, 
     United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the 
     following:
       ``(35) The term `body armor' means any product sold or 
     offered for sale, in interstate or foreign commerce, as 
     personal protective body covering intended to protect against 
     gunfire, regardless of whether the product is to be worn

     United States.
       ``(b) Affirmative Defense.--
       ``(1) In general.--It shall be an affirmative defense under 
     this section that--

     from his or her employer that the defendant's purchase, use, 
     or possession of body armor was necessary for the safe 
     performance of lawful business activity; and
       ``(B) the use and possession by the defendant were limited 
     to the course of such performance.
       ``(2) Employer.--In this subsection, the term `employer' 
     means any other individual employed by the defendant's 
     business that supervises defendant's activity. If that 
     defendant has no supervisor, prior written certification is 
     acceptable from any other employee of the business.''.
       (2) Clerical amendment.--The analysis for chapter 44 of 
     title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end

     SEC. 446. DONATION OF FEDERAL SURPLUS BODY ARMOR TO STATE AND 
                   LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

       (a) Definitions.--In this section, the terms ``Federal 
     agency'' and ``surplus property'' have the meanings given 
     such terms under section 3 of the Federal Property and 
     Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 472).
       (b) Donation of Body Armor.--Notwithstanding section 203 of 
     the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 
     (40 U.S.C. 484), the head of a Federal agency may donate body 
     armor directly to any State or local law enforcement agency, 
     if such body armor is--
       (1) in serviceable condition; and
       (2) surplus property.
       (c) Notice to Administrator.--The head of a Federal agency 
     who donates body armor under this section shall submit to the

       (d) Donation by Certain Officers.--
       (1) Department of justice.--In the administration of this

       (C) The Director of the United States Secret Service.

     SEC. 447. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) Officer Dale Claxton of the Cortez, Colorado, Police 
     Department was shot and killed by bullets that passed through 
     the windshield of his police car after he stopped a stolen 
     truck, and his life may have been saved if his police car had 
     been equipped with bullet resistant equipment;
       (2) the number of law enforcement officers who are killed 
     in the line of duty would significantly decrease if every law 
     enforcement officer in the United States had access to 
     additional bullet resistant equipment;
       (3) according to studies, between 1985 and 1994, 709 law 
     enforcement officers in the United States were feloniously 
     killed in the line of duty;
       (4) the Federal Bureau of Investigation estimates that the 
     risk of fatality to law enforcement officers while not 
     wearing bullet resistant equipment, such as an armor vest, is 
     14 times higher than for officers wearing an armor vest;
       (5) according to studies, between 1985 and 1994, bullet-
     resistant materials helped save the lives of more than 2,000 
     law enforcement officers in the United States; and
       (6) the Executive Committee for Indian Country Law 
     Enforcement Improvements reports that violent crime in Indian 
     country has risen sharply despite a decrease in the national 
     crime rate, and has concluded that there is a ``public safety 
     crisis in Indian country''.
       (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this chapter is to save lives 
     of law enforcement officers by helping State, local, and 
     tribal law enforcement agencies provide officers with bullet 
     resistant equipment and video cameras.
