HR 6649 National

3D Printed Gun Safety Act of 2018

To amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to prohibit the publication of 3D printer plans for the printing of firearms, and for other purposes.

On June 7, 2013, an assailant used a gun he had constructed by himself to kill his father, brother, and 3 other people at Santa Monica College in California. The person had failed a background check when he tried to purchase a gun from a licensed gun dealer. The gun he used was made from an unfinished AR–15-style receiver, similar to a receiver that can now be made with a 3D printer.

National Suicide Hotline Improvement Act of 2018

On July 16, 2020, the Federal Communication Commission voted to finalize 988 as the three-digit number Americans can dial and be directed to the 24/7 national hotline. Phone service providers will begin the transition process to implement the 988 number nationwide by July 16, 2022.

This bill became Public Law No: 115-233 on August 14, 2018.

This law requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to coordinate with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and to consult with the Department of Veterans Affairs to examine: (1) the feasibility of designating a three-digit dialing code for a national suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline system; and (2) the effectiveness of the current National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-TALK), including how well it addresses the needs of veterans.

On July 23, 2018, Section 4 was added to the bill. The section states, "No additional funds are authorized to be appropriated to carry out this Act. This Act shall be carried out using amounts otherwise authorized."

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.
