Federal Firearm Licensee Act

The Federal Firearm Licensee Act (S 1294) requires federally licensed firearm dealers to implement stronger security measures for their premises and firearms inventory. The bill mandates annual security certifications, physical inventory checks, and electronic recordkeeping for all firearms transactions, while repealing restrictions that previously limited the ATF's ability to share crime gun trace data with law enforcement. It also increases licensing fees for dealers and establishes new requirements for online marketplaces facilitating firearm sales. These changes aim to improve accountability and reduce firearms diversion to criminals.
