RIFLE Act of 2025
The RIFLE Act of 2025 amends federal firearm licensing laws to create a more structured process for addressing violations by licensed firearm businesses. It establishes graduated penalties for violations, with non-willful violations requiring notification and a reasonable timeframe to correct, while willful violations could lead to license suspension (up to 30 days for first-time offenders) or revocation. The bill adds procedural protections including written notice requirements, administrative hearings with due process, and a 90-day period to liquidate inventory after license expiration or revocation. It also requires the Attorney General to reconsider denied applications from former licensees and reverse certain past license revocations made under specific ATF orders. The bill aims to balance enforcement with due process for firearm licensees while maintaining public safety standards.
