Bill overview
The Firearm Due Process Protection Act aims to strengthen the rights of individuals seeking to correct errors in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). It expands the grounds for legal action to include extended delays (over 60 days) in firearm transfers, and establishes a faster, more efficient process for resolving disputes. The bill requires courts to hold expedited hearings and places the burden of proof on the government to demonstrate an individual’s ineligibility to possess a firearm.
