S 9780 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Allows access to juvenile delinquency records for the purposes of a firearm background check

This bill would allow law enforcement and background check systems to access records of juvenile delinquency cases when conducting firearm background checks for applicants under the age of 22. Currently, these specific records are not shared for this purpose, but the legislation amends the Family Court Act to explicitly authorize their release to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System and the Division of State Police. The change aims to ensure that individuals who have been found delinquent as minors are properly evaluated regarding their eligibility to purchase firearms before turning 22.
