Requires state division to notify local law enforcement and prosecutors of NICS firearm purchase denials and mandates local police to start a criminal investigation within five business days, so more enforcement against prohibited persons attempting to buy firearms.
The local law enforcement agency shall initiate a criminal inves- tigation within five business days of receiving such report from the division.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds requirements for reporting firearm denial information from background checks to local law enforcement and prosecutors, plus a mandate to begin criminal investigations, which imposes additional restrictions on prohibited persons seeking to acquire firearms.
