Expands access to juvenile delinquency records for NICS and state police background checks on people under 22 or 30, and adds juvenile adjudications for felonies/serious offenses as a disqualifier for firearm licenses under 30, so more restrictions on firearm purchases and licensing.
the National Instant Criminal Background Check System in connection with a background check conducted on a person under twenty-two years of age pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 922(t)(1)(C) and 34 U.S.C. § 40901(1); the division of state police in connection with a background check conducted on a person under thirty years of age pursuant to section two hundred twenty-eight of the executive law; a licensing officer pursuant to an investigation of an applicant who is under the age of thirty for a license to be issued or renewed under subdivision one of section 400.00 of the penal law
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the Family Court Act to make juvenile delinquency records available to NICS, state police, and licensing officers for background checks on applicants under 22/30, and amends Penal Law §400.00 to add juvenile adjudications (for felony/serious offense equivalents) as a new disqualification from obtaining or renewing a firearm license for those under 30. It also requires ERPO investigations to include such juvenile history for respondents under 30. These changes expand the use of juvenile records to restrict firearm licensing and purchases; no provisions expand firearm access.
