Bost, Mike [R-IL-12] (R-IL), 2025-11-04T00:00:00.000Z ## Provisions PRIA read - 90 days to sell inventory after license ends: benefit, medium. If enacted, a gun business whose federal license ends, is surrendered, or is revoked would get 90 days to sell or move its inventory. Time while an appeal is pending would not count, and the period could be extended for reasonable cause. The license would be treated as valid during that window, and… - Fairer penalties for gun dealers: benefit, medium. If enacted, penalties for licensed gun dealers would shift toward fixing nonwillful mistakes first. The Attorney General would have to presume a violation is not willful and start actions within 3 years. "Willfully" would mean you knew a clear duty and deliberately ignored it; signed forms or past… - Fairer rules for new gun license applicants: benefit, medium. If enacted, license applicants would get a preliminary decision with reasons, a chance to add information, and a hearing near them. The AG could not deny based on a license that ended more than 5 years ago (unless the person is prohibited under section 922(g)). The AG also could not deny just becau… - Reinstate licenses and repay legal fees: benefit, medium. If enacted, the Attorney General would have to reinstate, end suspensions, or reconsider denials that happened while ATF Orders 5370.1E, 5370.1F, or 5370.1G were in effect, unless there is clear and convincing proof of an immediate and grave safety threat. Eligible people would get back all legal f… - Stronger due process for gun dealers: benefit, medium. If enacted, the Attorney General would need to give at least 60 days’ written notice before penalties and a chance to fix problems. You could ask for a hearing within 60 days, which would pause penalties unless the AG proves willfulness and an immediate, grave safety threat. An administrative judge… - Stronger privacy for lawful gun buyers: benefit, low. If enacted, agencies would be barred from sharing identifying information about people who lawfully buy or receive guns or ammunition. They could share the data only after certifying it will go only to a court, law enforcement, or a prosecutor. ## Related bills - 119-hr-45: FIND Act - 119-hr-38: Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025 - 119-hr-425: Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act - 119-hr-1628: 761st Tank Battalion Congressional Gold Medal Act - 119-hr-987: Fair Access to Banking Act - 119-hr-1422: Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025 ## Sources - [119-hr-624 on Congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/624) ## Related - [119-hr-45: FIND Act](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-45) - [119-hr-38: Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-38) - [119-hr-425: Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-425) - [119-hr-1628: 761st Tank Battalion Congressional Gold Medal Act](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-1628) - [119-hr-987: Fair Access to Banking Act](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-987) - [119-hr-1422: Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-1422) - [All bills in Congress](https://policyrisk.com/legislation) Source: PRIA, https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-624 (as of 2026-04-21).
