Proposed rule published by Justice Department on July 7

The US Justice Department published a three page proposed rule on July 7, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The proposed rule is focused on Possession or Introduction of Personal Firearms Prohibited on the Grounds of Bureau of Prisons Facilities.

The Department is one of the oldest in the US, focused primarily on law enforcement and the federal prison system. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, detailed wasteful expenses such as $16 muffins at conferences and board meetings.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
