Allows access to juvenile delinquency records for the purposes of a firearm background check
This bill (A 2396) requires juvenile delinquency records to be accessible during firearm background checks for applicants under 22 years old. It specifically directs the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) and the Division of State Police to include these records when conducting background checks under federal and state law for individuals under 22. The bill amends the Family Court Act to mandate this access, overriding other provisions that might restrict such record sharing. It directly affects young adults seeking to purchase firearms by expanding the scope of background checks to include certain juvenile court records.
