Imposes a three-calendar-day waiting period after contacting NYS NICS before most firearm, rifle or shotgun deliveries (with an exception for certain license holders who may take delivery upon a 'proceed' response), so more restrictions on firearm access.
three calendar days shall have elapsed since the date the seller or transferor contacted NYS NICS to initiate a national instant criminal background check and (b) NYS NICS has issued a "proceed" response to the seller or transferor
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends multiple provisions of the penal law and general business law to replace the prior 'proceed or 30-day' rule with a mandatory three-calendar-day waiting period after NICS contact before delivery of a firearm, rifle or shotgun is allowed (even if NICS has not yet responded), while carving out an exception for holders of certain state licenses who may take delivery upon receipt of a 'proceed' response. This adds a new temporal restriction on firearm transfers for most purchasers.
