Bill overview
The ATF Transparency Act aims to increase accountability and efficiency within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) regarding firearm transfers and registrations. It establishes a process for individuals denied transfer applications to appeal the decision and potentially receive attorney fees. The bill also mandates that the ATF promptly process transfer applications, deeming them approved if a determination isn't made within three business days, and outlines consequences for delays. Finally, it requires reports on unresolved background checks and the division of responsibility for NICS inquiries between the ATF and the FBI.
