AI Summary

This bill, the Firearm Due Process Protection Act, aims to enforce the requirement that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) make a final disposition of requests to correct its records within 60 days. The bill amends Section 925A of Title 18, United States Code, to allow individuals aggrieved by a violation of the penultimate sentence of Section 103(g) of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act to bring an action in court. It also establishes procedural rules for these actions, including expedited hearings and the burden of proof on the respondent. Additionally, the bill requires the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to submit annual reports to Congress on the disposition of challenges to the accuracy of NICS records.
