Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the Family Court Act to add juvenile delinquency records to those available for federal NICS and New York state police firearm background checks on applicants under age 22. This is a change that expands the information used in background checks, which restricts firearm access for those with disqualifying juvenile records. No other covered topics are substantively addressed.
