NICS Data Reporting Act
Gun Background Checks: Demographic Data Reporting
NICS Data Reporting Act of 2025
The House of Representatives has passed this bill, and it is now moving to the Senate for further consideration. It is currently active as it waits for the Senate to review and vote on the proposal. There are no specific dates scheduled for the next steps at this time.
Legislative Progress
The bill has moved out of committee in the House, which is a big step, but it still needs to pass the full House and find support in the Senate.
Key Points
- This bill requires the Attorney General to send a yearly report to Congress about people who fail background checks when trying to buy a gun. The goal is to collect specific data on who is being turned away by the national system.
- The report would include details like race, age, gender, and income level. It would also track information on disability status and how well a person speaks English, as long as that information is already available in the system.
- Lawmakers would use this information to see if the background check system affects different groups of people in different ways. The first report would be due one year after the bill is signed into law and would continue every year after that.
