Bill > S3458

This bill, titled the "Background Check Completion Act of 2025," aims to strengthen firearm sale regulations by ensuring that licensed firearms dealers, often referred to as FFLs (Federal Firearms Licensees), cannot complete a sale until a required background check is fully resolved. Specifically, it amends Section 922(t)(1) of Title 18 of the United States Code, which governs firearm transfers and the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The bill removes language that previously allowed for a sale to proceed if a background check was not completed within a certain timeframe, effectively closing a loophole that could permit firearms to be sold before a thorough review of the buyer's eligibility. It also makes conforming amendments to other laws, including the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, to align with this new requirement and remove any conflicting provisions, such as the previous 10-business-day limit for completing a check.
