Bill > HR1456

This bill requires gun owners who are not licensed firearms dealers to report lost or stolen firearms to either the Attorney General through a new web portal or local law enforcement within 48 hours of discovering the firearm's theft or loss. The Attorney General must then notify local law enforcement of the report within 72 hours. The bill establishes a new web-based electronic portal for reporting, with penalties for false reporting or failure to report, including civil money penalties of up to $1,000 for a first violation and $5,000 for subsequent violations. Additionally, individuals who are assessed civil penalties twice will be prohibited from receiving a firearm for one year, and those assessed three times will be banned from receiving a firearm for five years. The bill also requires the National Instant Criminal Background Check System to be updated to account for these new reporting requirements and prohibitions. Law enforcement agencies will be required to dedicate at least 5% of certain grant funds to studying and implementing data collection related to lost or stolen firearms. The Act will take effect 90 days after its enactment, providing time for implementation of the new reporting system and related procedures.
