Bill > S3117

This bill, the Gun Violence Prevention Through Financial Intelligence Act, requires the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to issue an advisory about how homegrown violent extremists and other perpetrators of domestic terrorism procure firearms and firearm accessories. FinCEN must request information from financial institutions to develop this advisory, and consult with the FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and firearms sellers. If FinCEN determines it has sufficient information, it must issue the advisory within 540 days of the bill's enactment. If not, it must submit a report to Congress explaining the barriers to obtaining the necessary information. The bill also requires FinCEN to define key terms like "firearm accessory," "homegrown violent extremist," "lone wolf," and "lone actor" for the purposes of the legislation.
