Firearm Dealers: Opportunity to Correct Violations, Protect Licenses
New rules aim to make it easier for firearm dealers to correct minor errors before their licenses are revoked. This gives them more time to fix issues and provides an opportunity to appeal license revocation decisions in court. The act also applies retroactively to previously revoked licenses, offering a chance for reinstatement.
Key points
Firearm dealers can self-report violations without immediate license revocation, except for serious issues like selling to prohibited persons.
Authorities will assist dealers in correcting violations and provide training to prevent future occurrences.
Before license revocation, dealers will receive detailed notice of violations and 30 business days to correct them.
Dealers whose licenses were revoked after June 23, 2021, may reapply for reinstatement if they meet specific conditions.
License revocation decisions can now be directly challenged in court, and the license remains valid until a court judgment.
