A bill to prohibit firearms dealers from selling a firearm prior to the completion of a background check.

AI Summary
This bill, the Background Check Completion Act of 2020, prohibits firearms dealers from selling a firearm to an unlicensed person prior to the completion of a background check. Current law allows a dealer to transfer a firearm if the background check remains incomplete after three business days, but this bill removes that provision, requiring the dealer to wait until the background check is fully completed before making the sale.
