FIREARM Act
This bill changes how firearm license violations are handled. It requires the federal government to give license holders (like dealers) 30 business days to correct self-reported violations before taking enforcement action, including license revocation. License holders can also choose to challenge license revocations in federal court within 10 days instead of requesting an administrative hearing. The law specifically defines "self-reported violation" and clarifies that minor or clerical errors cannot be considered "willful" violations. These provisions directly affect firearm license holders by altering the enforcement process for regulatory compliance.
