State Firearms Dealer Licensing Enhancement Act

This bill would create a federal grant program run by the Attorney General for states and tribal governments that require firearms dealers to hold a state or tribal license. To qualify, the state or tribal law must require dealer licenses that last no more than 3 years, allow inspections, and allow penalties such as license suspension or revocation for violations. Grants could be used to develop, carry out, improve, or evaluate dealer licensing programs, and could not exceed $2,500,000 per year. Grant recipients would report yearly on inspections, violations, and licenses, and the Attorney General would report to Congress and the public.
