I look forward to passing my bill, HR 1041, the Veterans Second Amendment Protection Act to provide a permanent solution and ensure that the rights of our veterans are protected and respected.

Bost commits to passing H.R. 1041 to permanently protect veterans with fiduciaries by restoring their due process rights.

This legislation introduced by Bost prevents the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from stripping veterans of their Second Amendment rights solely because they require financial assistance in managing their benefits.

Bost says his bill would stop the VA from taking away veterans’ gun rights based only on a fiduciary determination.

The House Committee on Rules met on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, for a meeting titled "H.R. 1041 – Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act; H.R. 6047 – Sharri Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion Act of 2026; H.R. 1329 – Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act." The page lists H.R. 1041 and H. Rept. 119-143 in the text of legislation and support documents, and shows H. Res. 1300 as the rule providing for consideration of H.R. 1041.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Concrete same-term legislative action: H.R. 1041 was in Rules Committee consideration and paired with a special rule for floor consideration, but this is procedural movement rather than enactment.

Effective immediately, VA will not report Veterans to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System as “prohibited persons”

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): VA announced an immediate executive policy change on the underlying NICS-reporting issue, which partially addresses the policy goal but does not satisfy the specific promise to pass H.R. 1041 as a permanent statutory fix.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

As of May 21, 2026, H.R. 1041 had not passed the House, Senate, or become law; Congress.gov still listed it at the Introduced/reported stage, with latest bill action on June 5, 2025 placing it on the Union Calendar. Bost was the sponsor and materially advanced the bill, including committee reporting and Rules Committee/floor-rule activity in the same congressional term, so the campaign promise shows serious legislative effort. But the promised outcome was to permanently protect veterans' due process rights by passing H.R. 1041, and that passage/enactment had not occurred.
