The bill would authorize the Assistant Attorney General to provide three-fiscal-year grants to States to implement or maintain firearms and firearms dealer licensing requirements. Grant-supported systems would require licenses for firearm or ammunition purchases and possession, background checks and suitability determinations, safety training for first-time firearms license applicants, licensing-authority processes, judicial review, extreme risk protection orders, surrender or transfer procedures, dealer requirements, transaction reporting, license verification, and secure firearm storage. No more than 2 percent of annual funds could be used for salaries and administrative expenses, and unspent amounts would be returned.
