Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Implementation of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System Improvement Amendments Act (US Social Security Administration Regulation) (SSA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 These final rules implement provisions of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 (NIAA) that require Federal agencies to provide relevant records to the Attorney General for inclusion in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Under these final rules, we will identify, on a prospective basis, individuals who receive Disability Insurance benefits under title II of the Social Security Act (Act) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments under title XVI of the Act and who also meet certain other criteria, including an award of benefits based on a finding that the individual's mental impairment meets or medically equals the requirements of section 12.00 of the Listing of Impairments (Listings) and receipt of benefits through a representative payee. We will provide pertinent information about these individuals to the Attorney General on not less than a quarterly basis. As required by the NIAA, at the commencement of the adjudication process we will also notify individuals, both orally and in writing, of their possible Federal prohibition on possessing or receiving firearms, the consequences of such prohibition, the criminal penalties for violating the Gun Control Act, and the availability of relief from the prohibition on the receipt or possession of firearms imposed by Federal law. Finally, we also establish a program that permits individuals to request relief from the Federal firearms prohibitions based on our adjudication. These changes will allow us to fulfill responsibilities that we have under the NIAA.

This book was released on 2019-08-12 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Section of the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division has processed firearm background checks since its inception--November 30, 1998. During that time, the FBI has identified, developed, and implemented improvements to support the NICS Section's mission of enhancing national security and public safety.The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) celebrated its 20th Anniversary on November 30, 2018. This milestone represents a program and system that is strong rooted with experience. It is extremely reliable with a 99% availability rate nearly every year. In addition, the management of the volume, which has drastically jumped and increased over the years, proves the fortitude with which this program is based, dedicated to the mission. The past 20 years have brought excitement, increased volume, increased personnel, policy and procedure changes, modifications to the laws, and lasting professional relationships. In addition, as we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the NICS, another milestone was achieved in Calendar Year (CY) 2018 as we surpassed the 300 millionth NICS transaction. The success of the NICS Section over the years is a result of the hard work from our employees and our state partners. The focus of the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services Division's NICS Section remains on servicing Federal Firearms Licensees (FFL) by conducting firearm background checks. In CY 2018, the NICS processed 26,181,936 firearm background checks. Because servicing the FFLs is a priority of the NICS Section, the NICS Section markets the NICS E-Check to FFLs as an opportunity to conduct firearm background checks electronically as an alternative to telephonically. The enrollment has grown each year as the FFLs realize the benefits of the electronic access. In CY 2018, the usage of the NICS E-Check continued to be the preferred choice of access by FFLs, as 81 percent of federal background checks were processed electronically.

Book excerpt: "The question over how best to prevent criminals from purchasing firearms has stirred a great deal of debate during the past 15 years. The consensus seems to have developed in support of a fully operational NICS system, which I and other Republicans crafted, especially Senator Dole here, and fought hard to enact. ... Our focus today is the implementation of NICS, a system based on an idea that the overwhelming majority of law-abiding Americans believe in, an instant point-of-sale background check that prevents criminals and other prohibited persons from obtaining firearms. The NICS system has not yet lived up to its promise. Instead of an instant check, we have a system that too often causes needless delay to law-abiding citizens who are simply exercising their constitutional rights"--Page 1.

Download or read book Gun Control Sharing Promising Practices and Assessing Incentives Could Better Position Justice to Assist States in Providing Records for Background Checks written by G. A. O and published by . This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 2004 to 2011, the total number of mental health records that states made available to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) increased by approximately 800 percent-from about 126,000 to 1.2 million records-although a variety of challenges limited states' ability to share such records. This increase largely reflects the efforts of 12 states. However, almost half of all states increased the number of mental health records they made available by fewer than 100 over this same time period. Technological, legal, and other challenges limited the states' ability to share mental health records. To help address these challenges, the Department of Justice (DOJ) provides assistance to states, such as grants and training, which the 6 states GAO reviewed reported as helpful. DOJ has begun to have states share their promising practices at conferences, but has not distributed such practices nationally. By disseminating practices that states used to overcome barriers to sharing mental health records, DOJ could further assist states efforts.The states' overall progress in making unlawful drug use records available to NICS is generally unknown because of how these records are maintained. The vast majority of records made available are criminal records-such as those containing arrests or convictions for possession of a controlled substance-which cannot readily be disaggregated from other records in the databases checked by NICS. Most states are not providing noncriminal records, such as those related to positive drug test results for persons on probation. On May 1, 2012, DOJ data showed that 30 states were not making any noncriminal records available. Four of the 6 states GAO reviewed raised concerns about providing records outside an official court decision. Two states also noted that they did not have centralized databases that would be needed to collect these records. DOJ has issued guidance for providing noncriminal records to NICS.DOJ has not administered the reward and penalty provisions of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 because of limitations in state estimates of the number of records they possess that could be made available to NICS. DOJ officials were unsure if the estimates, as currently collected, could reach the level of precision needed to serve as the basis for implementing the provisions. The 6 states GAO reviewed had mixed views on the extent to which the reward and penalty provisions-if implemented as currently structured-would provide incentives for them to make more records available. DOJ had not obtained the states' views. Until DOJ establishes a basis for administering these provisions-which could include revising its current methodology for collecting estimates or developing a new basis-and determining the extent to which the current provisions provide incentives to states, the department cannot provide the incentives to states that were envisioned by the act.Nineteen states have received federal certification of their programs that allow individuals with a precluding mental health adjudication or commitment to seek relief from the associated firearms prohibition. Having such a program is required to receive grants under the 2007 NICS act. Officials from 10 of the 16 states we contacted said that grant eligibility was a strong incentive for developing the program. Reductions in grant funding could affect incentives moving forward.
