SEC. 4. AMENDMENT
(a) Section 8(B) of the Revamped Control of Firearms Act currently states:
“(B) Firstly, an individual must complete the Civilian Firearm Training Program (herein “CFTP”) that is approved by the FFC. The FFC by ½ vote in affirmation must approve a CFTP curriculum for use that: meets the guidelines specified in this act, details how instructor appointments and conduct are handled, and any other program rules. This program shall, in detail, discuss and review pertinent parts of this act, as well as any other active firearms legislation. There must be a live portion where participants handle firearms in a safe manner and are tested by instructors with varying difficulty of questions that have not yet been asked as part of the program. Any person dutifully employed by any law enforcement agency shall not need to attend the live portion of the training; however, they shall be required to take an exam that shall be different and more detailed than that of the quiz given to participants in a live portion. The FFC shall be required to publicly release a high-level overview of what the program entails and the steps citizens should take in obtaining a CFTP and eventually a CFL. An individual may not enroll in or pass the program, be granted a CFL, or maintain a CFL if they have a felony arrest or conviction on record or are not a citizen. All CFTP certifications shall be documented and kept by the Department of Justice, as public record. Any materials, test answers, and training guides used for a CFTP shall be exempt from release and shall not be released by any Freedom of Information Act request unless permitted by the commission.”

Upon doing so, the holder must be notified of the cause. The holder may appeal this to the District Court, requiring the FFC to demonstrate that the holder was not legally authorized to hold a CFL, or requested its removal. The FFC may, once the holder again meets the prerequisites for holding a CFL, reinstate their CFL by ½ vote. If a court, under any relevant law, finds an arrest to be unlawful, then it may reinstate a CFL revoked on the basis of that arrest.”
