Bill > S4888

This bill, titled the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, aims to prohibit the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) from transmitting certain personal information of VA beneficiaries to the Department of Justice for use in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The bill specifies that the VA Secretary cannot share such information solely based on a determination to appoint a fiduciary to manage a beneficiary's benefits, unless there is a judicial order or finding that the beneficiary is a danger to themselves or others. This is intended to prevent the VA from automatically reporting certain beneficiaries to the NICS background check system, which could restrict their ability to purchase firearms.
