Firearm Retailer Protection: Opportunity to Correct Violations, Not Immediate Punishment.
This new act aims to protect licensed firearm retailers from immediate license revocation for minor violations. Instead, it provides them with an opportunity to correct errors and offers support to prevent future recurrences. Citizens may experience greater stability in accessing licensed firearm dealers, as fewer businesses will lose their licenses due to minor infractions.
Key points
Firearm licensees who self-report violations will not face immediate enforcement action; instead, they will receive assistance and training to correct them.
Before any enforcement action to revoke a license, licensees will receive detailed notice of the violation and 30 business days to correct it.
Licensees facing revocation can directly appeal to a U.S. district court, and the revocation will be stayed until the court issues a judgment.
The act clarifies the definition of "willfully," excluding minor, clerical, or curable conduct from being considered willful.
