What does this charge mean?
This statute allows a person to file a lawsuit in county court within 30 days after the state department issues a final decision suspending or revoking their handgun permit. The court reviews whether the department exceeded its authority, misinterpreted the law, acted arbitrarily, or made a decision not supported by evidence, and can reverse the department's decision if any of these problems are found.
