Bill overview
This bill aims to improve the reporting of domestic violence records within the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). It does this by allowing states to receive grants to enhance access to these records without needing to already have a ‘relief from disabilities’ program in place. Specifically, the bill modifies existing laws to waive a requirement that states demonstrate they have such a program if the grant’s focus is solely on improving access to domestic violence records through NICS.
