This bill would restrict how federal agencies can handle and store records related to gun purchases and sales. Specifically, it would prevent federal agencies from keeping gun purchase records unless those records are needed for an active criminal investigation or prosecution, and it would require agencies to destroy existing records that don't meet this standard. The legislation also prohibits the federal government from directly acquiring gun transaction records from licensed dealers and manufacturers, and it restricts what personal identifying information can be required on multiple firearm sales reports and firearm transaction records. The bill does not include specific funding requirements or implementation timelines. The measure would primarily affect licensed gun dealers, manufacturers, and importers, as well as federal agencies like the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives that currently maintain these records.
