Bill > S3299

This bill, the Tiahrt Restrictions Repeal Act, aims to repeal certain provisions that limit the ability of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to disclose crime gun trace data to the public. The bill finds that these "Tiahrt Amendments" have impeded law enforcement's ability to enforce gun laws, as they require the destruction of background check records within 24 hours and prevent the government from requiring annual inventory audits of gun shops. The bill seeks to repeal these restrictions and support law enforcement efforts by providing the public with more information needed to craft effective policies against illegal gun trafficking.
