Plain-English Summary

States would receive federal grant money to create and run licensing programs for firearms dealers, similar to how some states already license other types of businesses. The grants would help states establish requirements, conduct background checks, and oversee gun shops to ensure they follow federal and state laws. This would affect gun dealers, state governments, and potentially gun buyers who might face additional licensing requirements depending on how each state uses the funding.
