## Summary

**Creates a new corrective pathway for licensed firearm dealers to self-report and fix regulatory violations before losing their federal license.** The bill would limit enforcement for curable errors, set clear notice and cure periods, add targeted judicial review, and provide a route to reapply for dealers affected by the 2021 ENRE policy. - Licensed dealers and other licensees would be able to self-report violations and receive help from the Attorney General to correct them. Enforcement generally cannot proceed if the violation is corrected within 30 business days, except for transfers to prohibited persons or other uncorrectable violations that create an acute risk of death or serious bodily injury. - The Attorney General would have to give actual notice that includes all evidence, offer compliance training and instructions, and may withhold enforcement while a licensee attempts correction. The AG may deny the correction opportunity if a violation cannot be fixed within the grace period. - License revocations or denials would be eligible for direct review in U.S. district court with a 15 business day filing window and a stay during review. Courts would review de novo and may uphold revocation only if willfulness is proven by a preponderance of the evidence. The bill also lets licensees revoked under the June 23, 2021 ENRE policy seek reapplication if they lack prohibiting convictions and show evidence of compliance and corrective action.
