Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Family Court Act § 380.1(4) to add juvenile delinquency records to those available for federal NICS and New York state police firearm background checks on persons under 22. This is a change that makes more records available for use in firearm purchase background checks, which restricts the firearms axis by potentially disqualifying more applicants. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
