AI Summary
This bill amends the federal criminal code to prohibit licensed gun dealers from transferring a firearm to an unlicensed person prior to the completion of a background check. Under current law, licensed gun dealers can transfer firearms to unlicensed persons if a submitted background check remains incomplete after three business days. The Background Check Completion Act of 2017 would remove this exception, requiring the background check to be fully completed before any firearm transfer can take place.
