Bill overview
The Preventing Pretrial Gun Purchases Act amends the Gun Control Act of 1968 to ensure that individuals with pretrial release orders prohibiting firearm possession are denied firearm purchases through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The bill clarifies the definition of a ‘pretrial release order’ and updates the NICS system to incorporate these orders, preventing sales and transfers to individuals subject to such orders. It also provides funding for states to report these orders to the NICS database, enhancing the system's ability to prevent prohibited individuals from acquiring firearms.
