FIREARM Act

This bill (S 3812, the FIREARM Act) changes firearm licensing enforcement by requiring the Attorney General to give licensees (like dealers) 30 business days to correct self-reported violations before taking action to revoke or deny license renewals. It adds a new 10-day judicial review option: licensees can bypass a hearing and request a federal court review of a revocation notice, with the revocation stayed during the court process. The bill also clarifies that minor or clerical errors are not considered "willful" violations and defines "self-reported violation" as one a licensee discloses before the Attorney General discovers it. These changes directly affect firearm license holders and the enforcement process under federal law.
