RIFLE Act of 2024

The RIFLE Act of 2024 changes how the federal government handles violations by firearms licensees, affecting gun dealers and manufacturers who hold federal licenses. It creates a graduated penalty system where non-willful violations require the Attorney General to work with licensees to fix issues before taking action, while willful violations may lead to license suspension or revocation only after proper notice, hearing, and evidence of continued noncompliance. The bill establishes new procedures for administrative hearings, defines "willful" violations more clearly, and gives licensees 90 days to liquidate inventory after license expiration or revocation, with extensions possible for reasonable cause. These changes aim to create a more transparent process for addressing violations while maintaining public safety standards.
