Bill > S2188

This bill, known as the ATF Data and Anti-Trafficking Accountability Act (ATF DATA Act), requires the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to submit an annual comprehensive report to Congress and make it publicly available electronically. The report must include detailed firearm trace data for the most recently completed calendar year, covering various aspects such as aggregated trace data by licensee type, a list of the top 200 source licensees with the most traced firearms, distribution of traced firearms among licensees, trace data for metropolitan areas with the highest homicide rates, and information about firearms recovered in different states. The bill mandates reporting on multiple sale traces, lost or stolen firearms, privately made firearms, law enforcement trace requests, and firearms trafficking patterns. The report must provide in-depth analysis including the number of firearms diverted from legal to illegal commerce, how trafficking investigations were initiated, youth involvement in firearms trafficking, crimes committed by traffickers, and the role of unlicensed sales in firearms trafficking. The goal is to create greater transparency and understanding of firearm trace data and trafficking trends across the United States.
