Concerning firearms background check.

Summary

The law requires the Washington State Patrol to set up an automated, web‑based background‑check program that dealers must use for every firearm purchase or transfer. It adds a fee (capped at $18) to cover the system’s costs, provides an appeal process for denied applicants, and mandates annual reporting on processing times. The system is intended to streamline checks, protect data, and ensure compliance with state and federal law.
