This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to procure ballistic-resistant body armor for its agents and officers that is specifically designed to fit female body shapes and meet enhanced protective standards. The armor must comply with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards for fit, include advanced technology to prevent bullet deflection into vulnerable areas, and pass National Institute of Justice (NIJ) certification testing that includes female-shaped molds and angled shots. DHS components must submit annual reports on the issuance and compliance of body armor to female agents and officers, with all DHS personnel requiring body armor to receive compliant equipment within three years of enactment.
