Creates a federal rule letting people who lawfully possess knives transport and carry them across State lines for lawful purposes if they follow specified storage and accessibility rules for vehicles and other transport and special handling rules for emergency/utility knives. It bars State or local arrests for conduct that complies with the rule, allows courts to award costs and attorney’s fees to defendants who prevail using the rule as a defense, requires expungement of records for those prevailing defendants, and does not apply to TSA‑regulated passenger aircraft cabins.
