Firearm Due Process Protection Act of 2025

Bill 119 HR 2184, also known as the "NICS Denial Notification Act," aims to enforce the requirement that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) must make a final decision on requests to correct its records within 60 days. The bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to background checks.

The NICS is a system used by licensed gun dealers to conduct background checks on potential buyers before selling them a firearm. It is crucial that the information in the NICS database is accurate and up-to-date to prevent individuals who are prohibited from owning firearms from obtaining them.

The bill seeks to ensure that individuals who believe there is an error in their NICS record have a timely resolution to their request for correction. By requiring a final disposition within 60 days, the bill aims to streamline the process and provide individuals with a clear outcome in a reasonable amount of time. In addition to the requirement for timely record corrections, the bill may also include other provisions related to background checks and the NICS system. These additional purposes could include measures to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the background check process, as well as other reforms to strengthen the NICS system. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2184 is focused on ensuring that the NICS system operates effectively and efficiently, with a specific emphasis on timely resolution of record correction requests. By enforcing this requirement, the bill aims to enhance the integrity of the background check process and ultimately improve public safety.
