Small Arms Competition and Innovation Act of 2010 - Provides that, if the Secretary of Defense (DOD) determines that the requirement to procure critical repair parts and modifications for small arms from a firm in the small arms production industrial base is not necessary to preserve such industrial base, then any such procurement shall be awarded through the use of competitive procedures that afford such industrial base a fair opportunity for such procurement.

House Republican Conference Summary

The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.

No summary available.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.

United States Code

The United States Code is the compilation of permanent laws enacted by Congress. Temporary and other non-permanent laws do not appear in the United States Code. (About half of the United States Code is the law itself, called positive law. The other half is merely a compilation of the laws but has no legal significance.)
