Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Roll back gun background check rules

This bill would repeal the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act’s Title II on firearms. It would restore earlier wording in federal gun-crime laws and the Brady background check law. It would also roll back Justice Department record and reporting rules to their prior form. New authorities and definitions added by that act would be removed. Buyers, dealers, police, and states would follow the pre-2022 rules, with details depending on agency actions.

Restore earlier rules for K-12 schools

This bill would undo school-related changes made by the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It would restore section 8526 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to its earlier text. Schools and states would follow the prior limits on how federal education funds can be used.

End grants for juvenile record reporting

This bill would remove a federal grant that helped states send some juvenile records to the gun background check system. States would have less federal money for this task. That could change some background check results for a small number of people.
