Bill > HR661

This bill, the Tiahrt Restrictions Repeal Act, aims to remove specific limitations that have hindered the enforcement of firearms laws. It proposes to repeal prohibitions on using appropriated funds to disclose information from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (ATF) Firearms Trace System database, which contains data on firearm tracing, and to prevent the collection of valuable information that could help combat illegal gun trafficking. Additionally, the bill seeks to remove restrictions that prevent the ATF from requiring firearms businesses to conduct physical inventories of their stock and to repeal a rule that mandates the destruction of identifying information submitted for a firearm transferee within 24 hours after a background check system confirms they are not prohibited from receiving a firearm. The intent behind these changes is to support law enforcement efforts and provide the public with crucial information to develop more effective policies against illegal guns.
