Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends reporting requirements to include persons recently released from emergency detention in federal NICS data for firearm prohibitions, requires facilities and officers to submit identifying information to DPS for NICS transmission, and adds a right to be advised of the 30-day post-release firearm purchase prohibition. These provisions expand the use of background checks to enforce federal restrictions on firearm purchases for this group, with no provisions that reduce restrictions on firearm access.
