“the Department of Justice announced a final rule authorizing Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) to voluntarily use the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to conduct background checks on certain current and prospective employees.”
“The final rule implements a provision of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which directed the Attorney General to issue these regulations.”
“Participation is optional for FFLs and requires the written consent of the employee.”
“Until now, Department of Justice regulations prohibited FFLs from contacting NICS for any purpose other than a proposed firearm transfer.”
“NICS will search the same databases it does for a firearm transfer: the NICS Indices, the National Crime Information Center, and the Interstate Identification Index.”
“The final rule addresses applicable public comments received on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that was published in December 2024.”
“The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will issue separate guidance to FFLs on how to document FHCs.”
