Bill overview
This bill, the Default Proceed Sale Transparency Act, aims to increase transparency in firearm transfers that occur before a background check is completed – often called ‘default proceed’ transactions. It requires licensed firearms dealers, manufacturers, and importers to report these transfers to the FBI within 24 hours and establishes a system for prioritizing background checks for these transactions. The bill also mandates annual reports detailing the number of these transfers, whether background checks were completed, and information about firearms recovered due to potential violations of law, providing data to track and address potential risks associated with these transactions.
