AI Summary
This bill prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs from transmitting personally identifying information of a veteran or their beneficiary to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) utilized by licensed importers or dealers of firearms, solely on the basis that such veteran has a service-connected disability.
