AI Summary
This bill requires the Attorney General to submit an annual report to the Senate and House Judiciary Committees detailing demographic information about individuals who were found ineligible to purchase firearms through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Specifically, the report must include demographic data such as race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, age, disability status, average annual income, and English language proficiency, if such information is available. The first report must be submitted within one year of the bill's enactment, and subsequent reports will be submitted annually thereafter. The purpose of this reporting requirement appears to be to provide transparency and insight into the characteristics of individuals who are denied firearm purchases through the background check system, potentially helping to identify patterns or disparities in firearm access across different demographic groups.
