Bill > HR5727

This bill, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Data Integrity Act of 2023, aims to require the search and retention of certain records related to conducting criminal background checks for firearm purchases. Specifically, the bill amends the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act to require the NICS system to retain records related to a firearm transfer or potential transfer until it can determine whether the recipient's receipt of the firearm would violate federal or state law. The system is also required to search various databases, including the National Data Exchange, the Interstate Identification Index, and the NICS Index, when making this determination. The bill also requires the NICS system to notify the person if it has not made a determination within 30 days, and it allows the person to submit information to correct, clarify, or supplement the records retained by the system.
