This bill requires the Superintendent of State Police to notify local law enforcement when individuals prohibited from purchasing firearms or ammunition attempt to do so. Specifically, if a background check reveals that a person is barred from owning or controlling a firearm due to a serious crime conviction or a domestic violence restraining order, the superintendent must inform the chief law enforcement officer of the municipality where the individual resides. In cases where there is no local law enforcement agency, the superintendent will notify the appropriate commanding officer with jurisdiction over that area. This provision aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that prohibited individuals are monitored during the purchasing process.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that retail dealers complete National Instant Criminal Background Checks before any firearm transactions and submit confirmation of these checks to the Superintendent of State Police. Dealers are also required to maintain transaction records for law enforcement inspection. The legislation reinforces existing laws that prevent individuals with serious crime convictions from purchasing firearms and outlines penalties for violations. By establishing these requirements, the bill seeks to strengthen the legal framework surrounding firearm purchases and improve overall public safety.
