This legislation aims to prevent individuals prohibited from possessing firearms by lawful court orders governing pretrial release from acquiring them. It achieves this by amending the Gun Control Act of 1968 , specifically adding a new category to Section 922(d) that prohibits firearm purchase, possession, or receipt by persons subject to a "pretrial release order." Such an order is defined as one issued by a Federal, State, Tribal, or local court that governs the release of an arrested person pending trial for a crime. The bill ensures that the national instant criminal background check system (NICS) reflects this new prohibition by making conforming amendments to various related statutes, including the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 . To support implementation, the Attorney General is authorized to provide grants to States and Indian Tribes for reporting information about these covered pretrial release orders to NICS. For these reporting initiatives, $25,000,000 is authorized to be appropriated for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030.
