Administration - Firearms Licensing Review Committee

314: Function of Firearms Licensing Review Committee

You could also call this:

"A group checks fair decisions about gun licences."

Illustration for Arms Bill

The proposed law says you will have a group called the Firearms Licensing Review Committee. This group will check decisions made by the chief executive about firearms licences. They will look at decisions to not give you a licence, to add conditions to your licence, or to take your licence away. You can appeal if the chief executive decides not to give you a licence under section 67, or if they add conditions to your licence under section 74. The committee will also review decisions to take away your licence under sections 151 or 156. The committee's job is to review these decisions to make sure they are fair.
