HR 4434 National
Fix NICS Act of 2017
Identical language to this bill was added to the 2018 Omnibus bill which passed on March 22, 2108. It is now law.
This bipartisan gun violence prevention bill is intended to improve the efficacy of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Currently, NICS is missing records that would prevent dangerous individuals from accessing firearms. Polls show the vast majority of Americans support legislation to improve NICS.
This bill is identical to S 2135.
