Requires annual searches of the federal no-fly list or terrorist screening database and mandates immediate revocation of firearms licenses and removal of firearms for those listed, functioning like an extreme-risk order based on federal watchlist status.
The superintendent shall search the federal no-fly list or terror- ist screening database at least once each year and upon a finding that a firearm license holder is on such a list, the superintendent shall imme- diately notify all appropriate law enforcement agencies and shall direct the state police to remove any and all such firearms until such time that the individual is no longer on the federal no-fly list or terrorist screening database.

↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Authorizes suspension or revocation of existing firearms licenses for persons on the federal no-fly list or terrorist screening database and requires notification and removal of firearms, adding a new mechanism to restrict licensed firearm possession.
Where the division of state police finds that a holder of a firearm license is listed on the federal no-fly list or terrorist screening database operated by the federal bureau of investigation, the division of state police shall immediately revoke the holder's license.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds explicit prohibitions on issuing or renewing firearms licenses to those on the federal no-fly list or terrorist screening database, requires annual database searches by state police, mandates revocation/suspension of licenses and removal of firearms for listed individuals, and directs reporting to law enforcement agencies. These provisions all substantively address firearms licensing, background/eligibility checks, and a watchlist-based revocation process akin to red-flag mechanisms; no provisions address transgender issues, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
