making a capital appropriation to the department of corrections toward thereplacement of the New Hampshire state prison for men and authorizing the state toreport mental health data for firearms background check purposes and providing forprocesses for confiscation of firearms following certain mental health-related courtproceedings and for relief from mental health-related firearms disabilities.

This bill has two main parts: it allocates $40 million in state funds to design and construct a replacement for the New Hampshire State Prison for Men, and it establishes a system to share mental health court records with federal firearms background check databases. The prison funding is intended for architectural planning, engineering, and construction documents to build a new correctional facility. The second part, known as "Bradley's Law," allows courts and the Department of Safety to report specific mental health adjudications to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which can lead to a person being prohibited from buying or possessing firearms. Additionally, the bill creates a process for individuals to petition the court for relief from these firearm disabilities if their mental health status has improved.
