Bill > HR8763

This bill, the Making America Safe and Secure (MASS) Act of 2024, aims to provide grants to states to encourage the implementation and maintenance of firearms licensing requirements. The key provisions of the bill include defining key terms like "covered license" (firearms or firearms dealer license), "prohibited individual" (someone ineligible for a covered license), and "thorough background check." States would be required to establish standards for prohibited individuals, such as those with criminal histories or subject to protection orders. The bill authorizes grants to states to implement or maintain firearms and firearms dealer licensing requirements, which must incorporate elements like requiring licenses for firearm purchases and possession, establishing a licensing authority, and setting standards for license revocation and judicial review. The bill also requires states to establish processes for extreme risk protection orders and firearm surrender, as well as regulations for firearms dealers. Finally, the bill authorizes appropriations to carry out these provisions.
