↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Requires licensing officers to approve or deny applications for licenses to purchase or take possession of a semiautomatic rifle with written notice within 180 days or refund all fees (unless due to factors beyond control), so applicants face a firm deadline rather than indefinite delays.
Applications shall be made and renewed, in the case of a license to carry or possess a pistol or revolver or to purchase or take possession of a semiautomatic rifle, to the licensing officer
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a 180-day deadline with written notice and full fee refund for untimely decisions on pistol/revolver carry licenses and semiautomatic rifle purchase/possession licenses, reducing delays that previously restricted access; this expands the firearms axis by making licensing more timely and predictable. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
