What it does
The Reducing Unnecessary Slowdowns in Handling Act would require the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to process most permit applications within 90 calendar days and license applications under 18 U.S.C. § 923 within 60 calendar days. It mandates quarterly public and congressional reporting on application metrics, including processing times, approval/denial rates, and reasons for delays or denials. The bill also requires the ATF to establish an appeals process for denied or delayed applications and to improve internal efficiency without hiring additional staff or acquiring new resources.
