| 2024-28711 | Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022-Criteria for National Instant Criminal Background Check System (“NICS”) Background Checks of Firearm Handlers | Proposed Rule | The United States Department of Justice ("Department") proposes several amendments to regulations pertaining to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System ("NICS" or "system") of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI").

As this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("NPRM") describes in more detail, the Department proposes allowing FFLs to use NICS for employment background checks of their "firearm handlers" and other "eligible employees." | 2024-12-12 | 2024 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/12/12/2024-28711/bipartisan-safer-communities-act-of-2022-criteria-for-national-instant-criminal-background-check | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-12-12/pdf/2024-28711.pdf | Justice Department | 268 | The United States Department of Justice ("Department") proposes several amendments to regulations pertaining to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System ("NICS" or "system") of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI").
