June 16th 2025 HPA (Hearing Protection Act) update and SHORT ACT added
Jun 16th 2025
On June 16, 2025, the Senate Finance Committee released their version of the reconciliation bill
Both the HPA and SHORT Act remain included in the Senate Finance draft, but their final fate depends on:
-
A favorable ruling on Byrd Rule compliance.
-
Passage by the full Senate (likely as part of the larger reconciliation package).
If successful, both provisions would take effect 90 days after enactment, transforming how suppressors and short-barreled firearms are regulated.
