Bill > HR1671

Introduced Session

To provide for the reporting to State and local law enforcement authorities of cases in which the national instant criminal background check system indicates that a firearm has been sought to be acquired by a prohibited person, so that authorities may pursue criminal charges under State law, and to ensure that the Department of Justice reports to Congress on prosecutions secured against prohibited persons who attempt to acquire a firearm. This bill requires the Department of Justice to notify state and local law enforcement authorities following a firearms-related background check that results in a denial.
