Bill overview
The Default Proceed Sale Transparency Act aims to increase transparency and accountability in firearm transfers involving unlicensed buyers. It requires federally licensed firearms dealers to report these ‘default-proceed’ transactions to the FBI within 24 hours and prioritizes background checks for these transfers. The bill also mandates the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to retain records related to these transfers until completed and requires the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to publish annual reports detailing these transactions, including the number of firearms transferred, background check outcomes, and recovery rates.
