- Bars the Attorney General from revoking or denying a license over a self-reported violation, unless the violation cannot be corrected or a firearm was transferred to a prohibited person.
- Requires written notice that explains the violation and includes the evidence, plus a 30-business-day window to correct it before enforcement action.
- Allows a licensee to petition a federal district court within 15 business days, stays the revocation during the case, and has the court review the decision de novo.
- Requires the Attorney General to let licensees whose licenses were revoked or denied under the Enhanced Regulatory Enforcement Policy announced June 23, 2021 reapply, with approval if they have no disqualifying conviction and show compliance.
