The Clean Hands Firearm Procurement Act requires the Attorney General to publish a list of firearms dealers with high numbers of short time-to-crime.
The Clean Hands Firearm Procurement Act mandates the Attorney General to publish annually a list of federally licensed firearms dealers who have had at least 25 firearms traced within three years of sale. Federal agencies are prohibited from contracting with these dealers for the current year and the two preceding years. The prohibition can be waived by the Attorney General for national security reasons, with required notification to congressional committees. The act defines "covered firearms dealer" and "time-to-crime" to clarify its provisions.
