Reducing Unnecessary Slowdowns in Handling Act

This bill sets strict deadlines for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to process applications, directly affecting individuals and businesses seeking ATF licenses (like firearm permits). It requires the ATF to complete most applications within 90 days and firearm-related licenses under 18 U.S.C. §923 within 60 days. The bill also mandates quarterly public reports detailing application volumes, processing times, and reasons for delays or denials. Additionally, it directs the ATF to eliminate redundant steps and establish an appeals process for denied or delayed applications, using existing resources without new hiring.
