## Summary

**Defines who counts as a state's resident for federal gun checks.** The bill would add detailed definitions of “State of residence” and “resident” to federal gun law and change what address data the National Instant Criminal Background Check System must collect. - Active-duty military and their spouses: The bill would let service members count both their permanent duty station and the home they commute from as residences. That recognizes two states for residency rules when relevant to gun laws. - People without fixed homes: Someone who lacks a physical residence could be treated as a resident of the state where they maintain a private mailbox or post office box. This expands residency to include nontraditional living arrangements for background-check purposes. - Firearm transferees and background checks: NICS entries would need a photo plus either a residential address or a private mailbox/PO box address if the transferee has no physical residence. That adds a required address field to the data used in transfer screening.
