Freedom to Ship Act
To prohibit discrimination against firearms shippers or transporters by common carriers and contract carriers, and for other purposes.
This bill, called the Freedom to Ship Act, aims to stop companies that transport goods, known as common carriers and contract carriers, from unfairly treating businesses that ship firearms. If passed, it would prevent these carriers from discriminating against firearm shippers, ensuring fair treatment in the transportation industry.
The bill would primarily affect businesses involved in shipping firearms, as well as the carriers that transport these goods. It would protect these businesses from discriminatory practices by carriers, potentially making it easier and more reliable for them to ship firearms across state lines.
The bill was introduced on July 30, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration. It is currently in the early stages of the legislative process.
